We have a few road rivers in our city - Highway 20, Peachtree Industrial Boulevard and the railroad impede pedestrian access. We'll have an opportunity to bridge one in October.
It’s still a rather steep expense to just give you a little more pavement for exercise. We have miles and miles of greenway and additional sidewalks for that. I can find plenty of space already available to stretch my legs without asking for additional tax money to fund my recreation.
I see an issue with the long ramp to access the bridge. If people have to walk further to access the entrance of a pedestrian bridge, they will just choose to risk it to cross the road. I like that the ramp makes it accessible for all, but the length of it will be a deterrent.<
I cannot wait! I will use this bridge a lot.

I think you have a valid point. But for people like me, who need more excercize in their lives...this would be awesome!
