The bridge needs to be longer to make the creek channel wider for flood control, and wider as well (if I understand the plans correctly). The HoT is right up to the sidewalk and any widening would necessarily run into it. Not only that, but the wider channel would also go...right through the building. Flooding has been a problem down there for decades and this is the way to alleviate it. There are other properties that can't be used/redeveloped because of flooding.
