But again, you have to compare cost as well, not just overall numbers. To build a proper interchange today to serve those vehicles would cost perhaps 10 times as much as this pedestrian bridge.

Also, the interchange provides no real benefit outside of the people who use it directly, whereas the pedestrian bridge has a real benefit outside of being "used" - it beautifies the city, makes it "interesting."
