You really have to think why bother? The Living Landmarks fund that they're applying to to pay for this is the same fund that the Necropolis Revitalisation programme applied to, there was also a proposal developed to save the sorely dilapidated (so sorely its in danger of collapse) Sprignburn Glasshouse but never got to the application stage - this fund could be FAR better utilised!
How much usage would this bridge actually get if it were completed I wonder? Not a lot at night I shouldn't think with all the creeps and prostitutes on Waterloo St after dusk. Having said that, the crossings at the Anderston undercroft are a disgrace and a health hazard on top of being a completely dead space - in all senses - so perhaps it would be welcomed and used.
I definitely think there are higher priorities for this specific type of funding. Could give you a list of you want (...anyone with any decision making power in respect to this subject within GCC...). I'm sure we all could.
here i go, it's coming for me through the trees
