We still plan to do the project, but we want to wait until the water subsides and the bridges are more in their natural state.\u201d\n<!--more-->\nLast summer, McGovern was visiting from his home town Taos in New Mexico and became enthralled with the beauty of the bridges in Stapleton.  \u201cWe would take little bike rides in the neighborhood, and I just became fascinated with the gorgeous bridges,\u201d said McGovern.  \u201cI took a bunch of photos, and when I was looking at them when I got home I decided I had to do a documentary on them.\u201d\nMcGovern says the film will cover a brief history of <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/forrest-city-releases-unpublished-timeline-items\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stapleton<\/a>, a history of Westerly Creek, and of course will discuss the architects of each of the bridges and how their design came to pass.  \u201cA lot of bridges are built strictly for a purpose,\u201d said McGovern.  \u201cAnd of course, some architects acknowledge that there is something beautiful about a bridge, and therefore, put their artistic heart into it.  The Stapleton bridges have a lot of beauty in them, and we wanted to really explore that.\u201d\nMcGovern plans to come back out in late October to complete the project which will be seen on Colorado PBS sometime in the next four months.  \u201cWe are very excited to get this project going.  I think a lot of residents take these gorgeous bridges for granted, but after people watch the documentary on them, I am sure the bridges will no longer be so easily ignored.\u201d\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-4041","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-64","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4041","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4041"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4041\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4041"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4041"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4041"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
