The city and school district are working on solutions to repair and replace the nearly 60-year-old structure. "It's pretty dramatic. You can see there are two trees that collapsed. One right here in the foreground -- it dropped,” neighbor Bill Bruin said. It has been 10 days since a giant eucalyptus tree leveled a pedestrian bridge in San Leandro.

And, at the time, it took out his powerlines and fell into the street,” Bruin said. Bruin lives nearby and says his family, like others, used the bridge often. Leading up to the storms he feared this could happen. "We have be...
