The Green Bridge has been officially given a new name ( Eleanor Schonell Bridge). I think that this article should be moved to that page, and changes be made to reflect that change. The Green Bridge, Brisbane page can then redirect to the new title. However, until the bridge is opened in an official sense (January 2007), I don't think that there is any need for any change for the moment. Just an idea, what does anyone else think?

If anyone can help, a new image of the completed bridge would greatly benefit the article. Cheers --- BrightLights 09:16, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
Points to note:
I propose that we alter the introduction of the article to read: "The Eleanor Schonell Bridge, also known as the Green Bridge, is a 390 metre (1,280 ft) long cable-stayed bridge which crosses the Brisbane River between Dutton Park and the University of Queensland's St Lucia campus."
And add the following text under the heading "Naming of the Bridge":
"During it's conception and construction, the bridge was known as the 'Green Bridge' because it was a sustainable transport iniative and since the naming many people have continued to call it the Green Bridge in preference to it's offical name" Grumpyyoungman01 06:36, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Please please please, "it's" is an abbreviation of "it is". You would just want to write "its", which is a possessive. Thank you. (page modified) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.162.74.220 ( talk • contribs)
How would one reference something out of a news story on National Nine News in this article? There does not seem to be any local news content available on the internet. Of particular importance is the Lord Mayor's comments that the increased commuter uptake due to the Eleanor Schonell Bridge only confirmed the fact the bridge needed to be built in the first place. The story also highlighted the unexpected amount of commuters using the bridge, with Translink being unable to provide enough buses to carry them as of this time. I think this is pretty significant as it highlights the amount of traffic in Brisbane is being directly attributed to Saint Lucia. The news story occurred on Thursday, 1 March, 2007 in the evening news (6pm). -- Permafrost 09:05, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Could someone add more stats please? eg. how long does it take to walk across at casual speed? what about using a bicycle? Benno bne 04:33, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I am a commuter that uses the bridge daily. For cyclists, going TO the uni, it normally takes two mins to cross, and going in the opposite direction, it takes around four or five. This is because going to the uni, you have a slope where you can build up your speed.
For a pedestrian, I find it takes around 5 to 10mins to cross, going at a casual walking pace. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.31.10.54 ( talk) 03:38, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
