In my view, an even bigger problem is that the footbridge was designed by muppets and it's a bridge to nowhere.
Isn't it odd that it sets down at the junction of Nelson Avenue and Nile Street, on the riverside corner of Gloucester Park? This isn't convenient for anyone, except maybe regular visitors to East Perth Cemetery.
True, Google says that it's only a 600m walk, through backstreets, from The Royal on Claisebrook, or just about a kilometre if you take the more pleasant riverside walk through Victoria Gardens, but where's the thinking or planning for match day car parking in East Perth? There's never going to be enough, and even though consultants have decided that we all will, a full house of 60,000 are not all going to catch trains or shuttle buses home.
It won't take long for "No Parking" signs to go up all around Claisebrook and East Perth on match days.
