The Benwood bridge could also have been maintained as a walking/biking path between Benwood & Bellaire.

The Suspension Bridge should not continue to carry vehicle traffic. Its' only purpose is to help people get to the Island and lose their welfare/disability/SSI/Social Security/unemployment checks.
