Letter of the Day (Jan. 7): Is bridge valuable only to who need to cross?

Isn't it funny that the naysayers on the proposed St. Croix River Crossing bridge are people who traverse the existing bridge rarely, if ever. They write letters to the editor from places such as Eagan and Roseville. This is typical selfish behavior, the "what's in it for me?" mentality. I could easily say we shouldn't have rebuilt the Interstate 35W bridge a couple of years ago, since I never use it, but that would be self-serving and penalize the people who depend on that bridge to fully realize their way of life.TIM MOSES, ST.
