It still took a little bit of chatting up though, the security guard was not so convinced that I was "a VIP client". LOL. @DeluxZilla: Actually I cheated, I was with a friend who works there.

Very nice shot. The Nanjing Road is definitely going to have to be changed in some way. I was surprised walking down it how many people were coming from Pedestrian Street and the subway line to the Bund, and using the traffic lanes because the sidewalks were too narrow. I'm also having my doubts about whether the redesign of the Bund will lessen traffic in any way — even with a wider pedestrian street and fewer lanes on Zhongshan Road.

I guess they still need to learn how to offer people more options. ahh, indeed, that would be really nice. I guess they still need to learn how to offer people more options.

But the problem is not with the ramp itself, the problem is that there is no other way to pass! They could have done this ramp as it is, and in addition <em>also</em> do the wide stairs with benches. I am especially fond of that kind of setup with big stairways because it invites groups to sit down, or spectators to watch some street performance, etc. There is more than enough space in the Bund to do both ramos and stairs.
