Camden County gets $19M toward building 34-mile trail starting at Ben Franklin Bridge

Ultimately, the LINK Trail would connect Philadelphia to Cape May County, and the even larger Circuit Trails Network. The Camden segment would contain five pedestrian bridges.

I'm all for bike trails, used them for transportation before I was old enough to drive and enjoy them for recreation now.
BUT that rendering of a swing bridge is an absurd waste of funding. That waterway doesn't go anywhere so no need to swing.
And you could get away without a bridge at all by moving the trail in toward the bridge pier/support!

Good ol funneling of $$$ to the connected

This is wrong in so many ways. I can't believe it is even a thing...
Without mentioning the obvious how are they even allowed to cone into the lower end of the county and build, pave, and destroy wetlands, habitat, and invade a WMA appropriated for
sportsman and such? Not to mention the making of a direct access route for ORV & ATV right into an area that is already out of control with the same. It's just a horrible idea IMO.
