A garden bridge for Exeter

We now have a 'new vision' from Exeter City Council - which involves building lots of new housing:

It also involves building a 'garden bridge':

As reported by the Architects' Journal's blogger:

Astragal: Garden Bridge has died and gone to Devon

13 FEBRUARY, 2019
BY ASTRAGAL


It looks as though London’s ill-fated Garden Bridge has sunk so far, it has washed up all the way round the English Channel and up the River Exe in Devon

A vision document published by LDA Design and Exeter City Council features a ‘green bridge promoting active travel across the river’.

The proposed crossing is part of a concerted effort to create the UK’s most active city by promoting attractive cycle and walking routes.

Details are sketchy at this stage, with plans at a very early stage and a target implementation period spanning two decades from 2020.

Rumours Joanna Lumley has been spotted on the Devon seafront are as yet unsubstantiated.
