Expansion Musings Part 2: A Pedestrian Bridge

One of the things I think is sorely lacking at Sesame Place is a pedestrian bridge from the main parking lot to the park entrance.

The parking lot is just a short distance from the park. Unfortunately, it's accessed by crossing a road full of cars going to (and from) the nearby mall and Sesame Place itself.

The lack of a pedestrian bridge means that traffic backs up, people walk against the signal, cars run the light and there's a general uneasiness as parents hold strollers on the curb.

The whole experience could be improved with a bridge.

I am sure a bridge like this costs a TON of money, but it's a safety and comfort thing for the guests and would ease the traffic flow for all the nearby stores.

Perhaps the bridge could be sponsored. Maybe a big "Chik-Fil-A" billboard could be attached to it to pay for it.

It doesn't have to be simple ordinary bridge, either.

There have been many gloriously styled bridges built over the years:

The design I would suggest, however, is this one:
