That is an... odd location to try and latch on to in order to say that the writer is toxic in the industry for multiple reasons:
1) While the author didn’t claim walkways are bad, there are many bridges designed for American rush hour traffic that do not include them because nothing surrounding the bridge would allow for someone to walk on them. Aka: there are only non-walkable highways entering or exiting the bridge.
2) Non-wood brushes don’t have wooden walkways added to them. They use concrete and steel like the rest of the bridge.
3) A walkway would be absurd without railings, which are dictated as not being something available to add. Literally a lawsuit waiting to happen.
So yes, in the case being outline as an allegory for this profession, a walkway added to the bridge because someone made a case for it would be bad. And has nothing to do with adding accessibility to it, which would be a good thing to do if the bridge were somewhere that said feature made sense.
(I’m probably going way too serious mode for this reply, but it was sticking in my craw, so I felt a need to get these thoughts out there)
