The article barely touches on the subject, but the bridge was really unnecessary, or necessitated only by the nonsensical urban design surrounding the university. The student housing is not only on the opposite side of a gigantic road from the campus, but it's further separated by a canal and then acre after acre of parking. If any attention had been paid, at all, ever, to the built environment this bridge would not have been needed in the first place.
