I suspect there is a viable solution that would work -- that or more aggressive policing and hacking them off... I think it looks absolutely beautiful and is a wonderful tradition, but sometimes traditions have to change to preserve what really matters. I fear this is the time...Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055676571236633849.post-19264654556399627562014-06-11T16:26:30.978-03:002014-06-11T16:26:30.978-03:00What beats me is why you would lock your love...

Sillygirl's idea is not silly at all—they could put a love-lock structure down on the quai near each of these two bridges and (as William suggested) fine people who still damage the bridge.Alexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03620873522996260383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055676571236633849.post-45939836340278113562014-06-11T11:40:15.798-03:002014-06-11T11:40:15.798-03:00It's doing damage to the bridges, and it's...It's doing damage to the bridges, and it's not the personal property of the people who lock these things on.
