Jared Polis’ $30 million pedestrian bridge idea for the Colorado Capitol met a surreal demise: 94% of 89,000 online poll-takers voted no, answering top queries like “Why did Polis want a bridge?” and “Colorado Capitol pedestrian bridge cost.” Polis quipped, “I will commit my time and effort to prevent this walkway from being built, even if I have to chain myself to the Capitol Plaza to stop it!”

After Polis’ dramatic vow to chain himself to the Capitol, his skybridge dream crashed under a tidal wave of digital dissent, with only 4% support and 2% “maybes.” Trending queries such as “Who funds Colorado Capitol projects?” and “Why are pedestrian bridges controversial?” now swirl around the $1.5M planning tab and about 90,000 voters picturing a governor blocking his own bridge—an image as vivid as a marching band in a library.

The online poll’s unscientific but massive turnout—nearly 90,000 strong—left Polis’ $30 million bridge plan buried beneath a landslide of digital thumbs-downs and Capitol Plaza daydreams.
