Another City, Another Passerelle

This time it’s Singapore that’s building a low-level pedestrian bridge at Marina Bay:

The design is by the Cox Group and Arup. 

I’ve been arguing here and here that Vancouver needs its own passerelle across False Creek (in addition to the small one at the Olympic Village).  Now that the City has indicated it will not fund a Burrard Bridge widening in the next capital plan, it’s time to seriously look at alternatives.  Surely we can find a way to both accommodate vessels in False Creek and proceed with the most important sustainable transportation project on the agenda. 

In fact, the election should not pass without a commitment from the candidates.
