"Ross Island, the bridge's namesake, was at one time home to a famous distillery. McArthur's Oregon Geographic Names, an indispensable work, says the island was once legendary for its "'Blue Ruin' whiskey of pioneer days . . . it was a fluid of high voltage." The distillery is gone, and now it is home to a large number of Blue Heron rookeries."

Worth the $55mill+?
If, in 5 or 10 years, it is well integrated into the fabric of the mass-transit-centric system we're trying to build, I think it will have been. Keep in mind that the city only paid $8m of that $57m, and OHSU will pay 85% of operating costs.
