We planned for active travel
So you've thought about the cyclelists?
Not that kind of active travel!
- Honestly seems more like an art project than a legitimately useful-for-any-purpose bridge - like it's beautiful and makes the neighborhood nicer, but also... It cuts maybe 30 seconds off of the walking route?
  
  When you dig into the plans, it's pretty much that: A nice way for people to walk through the wetlands.
  It's not designed to cut time off any journey.
  
  That's why I posted the picture, there's really no reason for cyclists to go on the bridge, it might save them 30 seconds. The article is click bait
You know, when I buy a bike, I always buy the one that's easiest to push because only crazy people would ever get ON one.
