Re PONTIO INNOVATION & crossing DEINIOL ROAD
I would like to stress my conviction that ALL FACTORS (even, though some would query it, finance !) argue in favour of incorporating, in advance, a pedestrian bridge design as sensational as the Pontio buildings & concept themselves:
• civilised movement (human and mechanical),
• safety,
• economy (time and fuel for vehicles and passengers held up by traffic lights),
• keeping up-to-date with current provision in comparable cities & situations,
• honouring the tradition of bridge-building in the locality (Bangor proudly claims Telford and Stephenson's as pioneer contributors to our heritage)
• anticipating and integrating a necessity which will reveal itself when the buildings are completed.
I have assembled illustrations of pedestrian bridges offering some of the requirements, and attach one (inevitably on a much larger scale). The design must be as bold and innovative as Pontio itself. I think that an enclosed walkway would be essential given climatic conditions.
