Ssr pedestrian bridge to downtown

[rubbergypsy]

Anyone know where this bridge is going to be. I know it's a part of the downtown expansion

The way it looks on the model Tom Staggs showed it appears to connect to Congress Park... he didn't point it out but I paused the video to try to figure it out!

Disney Springs <---- If you look at 11:01 ... at the very top of the screen is a bridge shown that looks
like it connects to the end of Congress Park similar to where we currently connect to DTD. So not sure if it's any improvement for SSR guests.

This was my thought as well. The bridge seemed to more eye candy as opposed to actually providing a more convienent way for SSR guests to get to DTD. Now obviously we don't have full plans for the Disney Springs yet, but I did notice that it appears that the current bus stop way down at the north end of the Marketplace is going to be eliminated, the current walkway from SSR comes in very close to that bus stop. It is possible that the current walkway will be eliminated and replaced by the bridge.

There was one mention that the new bridge will be 30' away from the current "bridge"

I think it may feel a bit better, as the current one is more like a public roadway sidewalk.

Yeah in the images I have seen, It looks like it just cuts across that narrow section of water close the bridge near the main road near the loop where the buses let off.

My understanding is it basically just moves the walkway back some from the road.
