SAN FRANCISCO – Work crews have started installing what Golden Gate Bridge officials are calling the most significant architectural change to the 65-year-old landmark.
But passersby may hardly notice the new safety rail that will separate the pedestrian and bike sidewalk from car lanes.
“Anything you put on a historic monument like that should fit in and not stand out,” said Donald MacDonald, an architect who helped design the railing.
