I agree with this, but if you placed the bridge in the middle (approx.), the traffic at the west end of the island would be significantly lower than it is even now, even with the improvements.

Given that the plan isn’t likely to change too much at this point, wouldn’t it be a more reasonable thought to add a short bridge from the train station directly over to the island, along with a proper pedestrian crossing around the 12 st. SE bridge?
