New Suspended Ped-bike Bridge
Looking to mimic an already existing suspended bike-ped bridge called the Hovenring in the Netherlands.
How often do you travel BY BIKE OR WALKING along Lamar (or surrounding paths, sidewalks, etc.) within the highlighted area?

How do you feel about installing something similar to the pictured structure (the Hovenring, which already exists in the Netherlands) in Austin above in the highlighted area north of the lake?

Other option
- completely impractical considering most cyclists in austin are not very skilled
- that bridge would become an austin landmark!
The picture shows a possible placing of the ring to give you an idea. Thoughts?
- don't know
- na
- it is dangerous.
- road no
- okay
- then it would be a little unsafe
- looks huge, never happen. how about improving access to third street instead? the pedestrian bridge is accessible as it is.
- i don't know.
- none
- the altitude difference on each connection would make the project expensive. also, it would be really crammed. the reason why it looks so good in the netherlands is because it is really symmetric with respect to the streets.
Which of the labeled connection points do you think would benefit pedestrians most?
