    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

          If anything it probably makes the biking route take a bit longer, since you still have lots of walkers to dodge but a lot less room to do so, and on a curvier path with some unknown-to-me material that’s probably not as smooth as pavement.

    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.
