Mac, Robert Adzema has been involved in discussions about the sundial bridge with the Redding officials. There have been a variety of discussions on exactly what form the dial face might take (given that the gnomon angle is not correct for the latitude). I think things are essentially on hold at the moment.
Robert will be giving an update talk at the NASS conference in Tenafly NJ (Aug. 19-22).
