Open the Birmingham Bridge to Pedestrians and Pigeons

Who and how are they going to keep the pigeons off of the now closed Birmingham Bridge?

If I was mayor, I would INSIST that the bridge be kept OPEN to the pigeons and pedestrians.

Post a sign on the bridge, if you think that this bridge is going to fall, please call PENN DOT and 3-1-1. That way everyone that walks along the bridge could be a deputy bridge inspector.

Seriously, how much strain is there on the bridge due to pedestrian traffic?

Meanwhile, there is a LOT of GRIEF for those that can't walk to get their groceries and to classes and such.

For the sake of city residents, fitness and the general flow of the city -- for the sake of safety -- re-open the Birmingham Bridge to walkers.
