Without priorities at the junctions at either end or specific cycle lights so cyclists can get on/off easily it's still not be much cop for people on bikes. Also not seeing where the pedestrians are going to go or are they intending to make it shared use, which we know is just shit.

Presumably the architect for that bridge didn't set up a charitable foundation that then went on to choose his practice to design it and somehow spend nearly fifty million quid without building anything?

There's been a green bridge in East London for years, crossing Mile End Road, part of Mile End Park.

Nice... but I'm disappointed by it's lack of pots.
