For the past few years, I have been thinking about the concept of building an elevated walkway for pedestrians. They can walk on the elevated walkway for a long distance and do not need to cross traffic junctions.
I know that this is costly, but it is also costly to construct footpaths and controlled crossings.
There are problems with building the elected walkways because of the trees that are planted on the side and middle of the roads.
How about building underground walkways that can stretch for long distances?
It can be build below the level that carry the electric and communication cables. It does not matter that the tunnel is lower, as the access will be by elevators and lifts.
There are technology that can be used to bore tunnels, so the cost may be acceptable. These tunnels can also be used to carry cables, so there will be less need for road work to install cables.
Should the tunnels be air conditioned? Maybe yes, maybe no. I think it should be possible to have the tunnels well ventilated and kept cool.
We can build some stalls along the way for people to have a meal or coffee.
What about security? There should be no problem, as cameras can be installed along the underground walkways to prevent crime.
What are the benefits? Many people can use the tunnel to cross many roads to reach the train station and bus interchange. Walking is good for their health.
Does this make economic and social sense?
