Description

The bridge sidewalk is really narrow, especially the last 100m at the south end which narrows to 1.5m wide and has a blind corner. I had a near miss with another cyclist that lost control coming down the bridge after passing me and injured her hand on the bridge railing. The sidewalk starts curving here an narrows down from 1.8m to 1.5m. The downhill speeds allows cyclists to easily reach speeds of 30-40 kph while entering this narrow section with reduced visibility. This section is very dangerous as a result. Can the sidewalk be widened here? Can the sidewalk be widened onto the roadway which has a shoulder at this point?

The sidewalk is too narrow considering the volume of pedestrians and cyclists!
