The Westham+Island+Bridge has become another 21st century joke. A new and higher bridge should have 1 wide traffic lane each way, plus 2 separated bike and foot paths. This would not only allow for safer bike crossings, but easier emergency and general vehicle access.
Barnston+Island doesn't even have a bridge. The Barnston+Island+Ferry should be replace with a bridge. Such a bridge should also have 1 wide traffic lane each way, plus 2 separated bike and foot paths.
With a proper bridge crossing Barnston_Island as well as Westham_Island would be so much easier for people to bike around in the spring & summer. Plus, a proper bridge would be more efficient for business.
