The bridge would facilitate safe passage for pedestrians and cyclists by reducing collisions at vehicle intersections as well as providing a short-cut for people to easily access Los Gatos Creek Trail. The new addition would also promote biking because of its accessibility for both the citizens of the Northeast side of town and those in the new North 40 community land use project. Lastly, the bridge also adopts traditional Los Gatos features like natural wooden materials and accessible pedestrian landings, capturing the essence of the town and incorporating traits that could define it as a Los Gatos landmark.
