Rebuild the bridge

I have an idea for the Sandusky Bay area that I feel is worthy of discussion. Just north of the Edison Bridge (Ohio 2) is a causeway that was once a road that connected Bay View to Marblehead/Danbury Township. This causeway is presently used for fishing. I propose a pedestrian bridge once again connecting these two points. While this span appears to be about three-tenths of a mile, it would replace what is now a 42-mile journey by foot or bike. For someone who resides in Marblehead, this makes a bike ride to Sandusky or Cedar Point quite doable. Likewise, someone in Bay View could easily reach Marblehead or the Kelleys Island Ferry with a short bike ride. This 42-mile alternative is due to the fact that there is no foot or bike traffic allowed on the Edison Bridge. I have contacted local and national bike groups and numerous politicians pertaining to this idea but have only received silence or lip service. I understand that bridges are not cheap to build but feel this wouldn't be too costly: the span is only about three-tenths of a mile, and the water appears to be about 4 feet deep, plus it would only have a light load on it. With all the funds available from the infrastructure bill, could this idea become a reality? I am reaching out to the public for any assistance I can find. Is there anybody out there that feels that this is a project worth putting forward? Bill Marconi Marblehead
