【A
Bridge
to
Connect】 I
recently
had
the
pleasure
of
crossing
a
newly
built
bridge
in
my
hometown,
and
it
got
me
thinking
about
the
power
of
bridges.
Bridges
connect
people
and
places
that
would
otherwise
be
inaccessible,
allowing
for
a
greater
flow
of
ideas,
goods
and
services.
This
particular
bridge
is
now
the
fastest
route
between
two
growing
suburbs,
substantially
reducing
commute
times
for
thousands
of
people. But
bridges
are
more
than
just
practical,
they
are
also
symbolic.
They
represent
a
connection
between
people,
cultures,
and
communities.
The
name
of
a
bridge
can
therefore
carry
great
significance
and
meaning.
It
can
serve
as
a
reminder
of
the
history
and
values
that
underlie
that
connection. For
example,
the
Brooklyn
Bridge
in
New
York
City
is
named
after
the
borough
it
connects
to
Manhattan,
while
the
Golden
Gate
Bridge
in
San
Francisco
is
named
after
the
Golden
Gate
Strait
that
it
spans.
The
names
of
these
bridges
not
only
reflect
their
geographic
locations,
but
also
the
cultural
identities
of
the
areas
they
connect. So,
what
should
we
name
our
new
bridge
in
my
hometown?
It
should
reflect
the
values
and
history
of
our
community.
Perhaps
it
should
be
named
after
a
local
hero
or
a
significant
event.
Or
maybe
it

reflect
the
natural
beauty
of
the
area,
with
a
name
like
River’s
End
Bridge
or
Green
Valley
Bridge. Whatever
the
name,
it
is
clear
that
our
new
bridge
is
more
than
just
a
practical
structure.
It
is
a
symbol
of
our
connection
and
our
values.
It
will
bring
our
community
closer
together
and
open
up
opportunities
for
growth
and
collaboration.
And
that’s
something
worth
celebrating.
