So, why is there no pedestrian bridge?
Comment on outlawing pedestrians

The REASON it’s illegal and dangerous to walk from these hotels is there’s a damn whole canal between here and the stadium and the bridge is a limited-access highway. maps.app.goo.gl/5nK4bkNg9fHkWunn7
There isn’t a pedestrian bridge over the canal, that’s why you gotta get a ride.

Holy Shit, making it from the nearest hotel across the canal turns a 1-mile walk into a 6-mile hike =U
That has to be deliberate, there’s no other excuse for it.

Deliberate in the sense that someone built a hotel on land that was cheap for reason?

How much extra do you think it would have cost to add an 6’ walkway to the bridge when it was built, merely as a future-proofing mechanism? When your first thought is, “No one would ever want to walk from one side to the other instead of using some kind of transportation,” these are the kind of results you get.

A billion dollars for a pedestrian bridge? That thing had better be made of gold, then.

NJ DOT controls Rt 3 that goes over the bridge. You can recommend it to them.

The canal was there before the hotel, so that’s probably a question for whoever built a hotel in a place that doesn’t make any sense.

That’s the reason I can’t simply walk to the nearby Denny’s if I wanted to; it’s on the otherside of 99 and there are no pedestrian crossings for MILES over it.

Also america: driving takes one mile, walking takes 6 miles to get to the same place.
