If only Amazon giftcards covered the costs of a trained staff, Internet-connected computers, magazines, AV materials, reference materials, and events programming.

Just build the bridge already! I can’t see what all the fuss is about. By making it easier to cross the street from the garage, the bridge will make it easier for people to get to Fenton Village, thus increasing pedestrian traffic there, not reducing it.

According to that link the 200-foot-rule is one of 10 possible qualifications for using those spots. You can qualify by not having the use of a hand, which has nothing to do with how far you can walk.
