The City of Kirkland wants to know: Which of these awesome bike/walk bridge designs is the most awesome?

The Cross Kirkland Corridor trail effectively ends today at NE 124th Street near the intersection with Totem Lake Blvd NE, but the city wants to continue it north to connect into the under-development plans in the Totem Lake area and help the trail reach the city's border with Woodinville near the Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery and the Sammamish River Trail.

But to that, they need to get the trail across this big intersection. The Cross Kirkland Corridor Master Plan calls for a biking and walking bridge spanning the two streets and avoiding the high-power lines at the north end. Though the project is still seeking another $5.8 million or so according the CKC website, the city is moving forward with design work.

They have received four bridge concepts to choose from, all of which hope to become an iconic part of the area in addition to carrying people using the trail over the busy streets.

You can let the city know which one you prefer via an online survey. Here are the concepts:
