Did our firt ridw across the new bike/pedestrian bridge yesterday. It is pretty narrow and has a lot of pedestrian traffic ie; families with small children on it now so be prepared for sudden stops to avoid the little ones. Hopefully they will put signs up at both ends with the "rules of the road". The ramp on the north end is pretty easy to come up but it does have square turns. I don't know if you could make the turns with a tandem - someone will have to try it. All in all a big improvement over what was there.

I read in the paper that they made the ramp square, instead of rounded, so bikers wouldn't race up or down and run over walkers. I guess from your comments it works as planned.

Big improvement over what we had before, but I agree that people need to do a better job keeping their kids reeled in.
I love this bridge.
