If this new bridge is going to get the kind of traffic that justifies its construction, presumably, there will be a similar increase in the number of people who want to cross Memorial in that area too.
Having nothing more than a surface crossing between the pathway and the north side of Memorial seems pretty stupid and potentially dangerous to me.

It's a full-fledged traffic signal. I don't see what's dangerous about that.
And to the other guy, there's no chance the signals move. Not a prayer. The lighting along the Landscape of Memory would have to be changed. They paid a pretty penny for that to go in, and I highly doubt the City will be looking at paying the money required to change it.
Speaking of real reasons to complain about City spending, I give you Exhibit A: The Landscape of Memory.
