Bridge of Trees 1.jpgroad.cc live blog: A Garden Bridge, Dutch-style ... and Arise, Sir Cyclist!
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

Without priorities at the junctions at either end or specific cycle lights so cyclists can get on/off easily it's still not be much cop for people on bikes. Also not seeing where the pedestrians are going to go or are they intending to make it shared use, which we know is just shit.
I couldn't find the words 'Sir Chris Boardman' anywhere in this article.
Presumably the architect for that bridge didn't set up a charitable foundation that then went on to choose his practice to design it and somehow spend nearly fifty million quid without building anything?
There's been a green bridge in East London for years, crossing Mile End Road, part of Mile End Park.

Nice... but I'm disappointed by it's lack of pots.
there must be some nearby - it always smells very herbal
Look at the size of those pot plants!
They grow a lot of pot plants in NL
They we're growing pot in the town centre plant pots in Newport, South Wales about a year ago.
