My understanding is:

  1. Ped/Bike bridges are much easier and cheaper than car bridges
  2. It wouldn't require demolishing anything, you could do switchbacks in a tiny footprint on infill
  3. A tunnel would arguably be even better: less elevation change needed, cheaper to build (apparently), ventilation is easy, they're common in Europe.

A few of us pitched Rob Menendez Jr. on it at a JSQCA meeting a few months ago. My angle was that it would be pretty easy to build, and someone would get to put their name on it. It should be a slam dunk for some local or regional pol, it would be extremely popular.
