I'm no expert on pedestrian bridges. 

Our policy (not just in Central Business Districts) is to install traffic
light controlled pedestrian crossings wherever suitable. We are replacing
pedestrian bridges (even the one installed in 1986 at Shepherds Bush,
designed like an express train - with MY name on!!).

Dear Mr Dave Wetzel:

Through reading your email about how to encourage modal shift, I see that
only a
lot of transport instruments working together can make help. I am assessing
a
proposed Pedestrian Overbridge in CBD area, I want to ask you whether
supplying
good road signs is pretty enough to encourage people to use the Overbridge.

Best regards and with many thanks

Andy
