Big steps: Will Martha Jefferson's leap bring a footbridge?

Big steps: Will Martha Jefferson's leap bring a footbridge?

Martha Jefferson Hospital is planning to complete its move to a new site on Pantops Mountain in 2012, and bicyclist Randy Salzman is very, very worried.

Armed with a county road survey, the freelance transportation planner believes traffic on nearby Free Bridge, which already carries over 50,000 vehicles a day, is about to become gridlock central. While hospital officials downplay that possibility, Salzman, decked out this day in a bright yellow biking shirt, has a vision for a yellow brick road of sorts– a road that that would move people, not cars, over the Rivanna River.
