If I said that I saw it then I saw it, if I said that it happened then it happened, because I’m not a liar.

I have witnessed people walking to the airport with bags in tow. I have walked to the airport on more than one occasion. People are already walking to the airport this pedestrian bridge gives them a safer option.

Additionally, it provides another exit for the Mount Vernon trail which is a hard trail to get off. Once you walk two miles you can’t get off and catch the nearest Uber. So an additional exit for the mount Vernon is nice.

Another interesting possibility is connecting the bridge with VRE. It would be nice if VRE could be a full service statewide rail. Or at the very least more options between DC and Richmond.
