Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't there already a trail that goes from Crystal City towards DCA? I know I've seen the sign a million times while biking to Alexandria on the Mt Vernon trail.

You can walk in via the Mount Vernon trail but you’ll be contending with all the bike commuters on the MVT - not ideal if you’re carrying luggage. Plus, it’s over a mile with all the twists and turns, whereas a direct pedestrian bridge would only be 1000 feet or so.
