Importance of the site
This overbridge provides a pedestrian friendly route and a short cut: community members, especially women, have said that they currently feel uncomfortable taking the route due to the fact that it is often deserted, or there has been some anti-social behaviour that has made them unsafe. To revitalise this place would create less traffic as people would be far more likely to take the short cut across, and it would also provide more business for the small vendors on the other side of the overbridge.
Proposed idea / vision:
We envision i. a well-lit space, ii. with CCTV cameras, iii. whose walls can be painted with murals, iv. the space can be used as a covered temporary market for pop-up and similar activities on the weekend. Bins and receptacles to discourage people from dumping rubbish should also be made available.
