It's a 30 minute walk for able people and a tram ride that might not be 5-10 minutes. I wouldn't call this a long journey
Many with IBS and other ailments, do call 30 minutes a long journey without a toilet. Many are not mobile to such speeds, and it would take them hours. So if there are no facilities, this bridge is ableist and exclusionary.
The tram is still usable to all ages and abilities, no? So those who call 30 minutes a long journey still have the 5-10 minute journey option.
The tram, walking, and rolling makes it less exclusionary than a bridge only accessible by private motor vehicles.
The bridge may still be exclusionary, but it is ordera of magnitude less exclusionary than the previous state of affairs (only those with the physical ability to swim that far).
Don't worry. Some ppl with ibs can drive/swim. They just need to be allowed to poop while driving and swimming /s
