Not only is it unsafe for elderly people, it is unsafe for cyclists and a hazard for motorists with its extra right-hand turns and crossings at busy intersections.
Add to that, its extra length and steep hills and most commuting cyclists will continue on the verge of Manilla Rd.
Personally, if there’s money to be spent on cycling safety, I think a combined cycling/footbridge between King George V Ave and Calala would be a better idea.
