You say “and/or”; but if there isn’t a ramp, an elevator would be needed. An escalator is very convenient for many but just doesn’t do the job for everybody, in particular for people in wheelchairs.

What I really meant was "elevator plus possibly an escalator".

OK, that makes sense. Sorry, sometimes my day job, which includes lots of computer programming, leaks into my off hours. So sometimes I am annoyingly pedantic.

I understand you like tunnels, but my question was about the option of using stairs+elevator (+possibly escalator) instead of a ramp, for a bridge.

Actually I’m skeptical of the tunnel idea for some of the same reasons others are, but I think some of the points raised haven’t been entirely fair to the idea. Your question is a good one and I hope I haven’t derailed more productive discussion of it in favour of nitpicking. That being said, you are correct that I love tunnels in general, along with other ways of connecting places together, indoors and out, with an emphasis on car-free approaches.
