So far, no one has addressed the enormous spending the City does on perimeter infrastructure projects such as interchanges and such when it's been called out in this thread.
If suburban citizens get to have their interchanges and new infrastructure, I see no reason as to why inner-city residents can't have a pedestrian bridge, at a very small cost compared to other projects,, no less. After all, that is infrastructure too. The residual effects of having this bridge will only be positive, ranging from increased economic activity (tourism, local business, etc.) to more efficient transportation to green sustainability initiatives.
