Keel Crossing [opened 18.10.25] - compendium thread

That's 1,200 people passing a single point every minute so say walking onto it. It's not how many are on the bridge at any one time, here's that calculation

To determine how many people can safely stand on a bridge that is 250 feet long and 32 feet wide, we need to consider the area each person occupies while standing.

Assumptions
Area Occupied by Each Person: On average, a person standing still occupies about 2 square feet.
Bridge Dimensions: 250 feet long and 32 feet wide.

Calculation
Total Area of the Bridge
First, we calculate the total area of the bridge:

Total area of the bridge=Length×Width=250 feet×32 feet=8000 square feet

Number of People on the Bridge
Next, we calculate how many people can fit on the bridge, assuming each person occupies 2 square feet:

Number of people=Total area of the bridge/Area occupied per person=8000 square feet/2 square feet/person=4000 people

Therefore, under these assumptions, approximately 4000 people can safely stand on a bridge that is 250 feet long and 32 feet wide.

All this is bullshit of course as it's presuming the bridge can take all those people and everyone will be marching in unison like an army so well done for reading any of this or the last post.

Only thing missing was allowing space between the rows of 20 people, unless they just shuffle across the bridge and don't actually walk.

Here’s a screenshot shot of the Sheepfold development from the published document. 3 bridges in view, two across the Wear, one high level, the other low level. The third is across the ‘gorge’ so Easington Street continues straight to the SoL.

That to me looks as though the only bit of the industrial estate that will be left ,is the units directly opposite the roker end.That will be hugely dissappointing

I've overlaid that onto Google Maps best I can (also left the SOL in view all throughout)

Hugely disappointing in what way? I don’t think it will actually be the existing units that will be left as that will not work for the road lay out and housing etc. I’ve just seen the overlayed map, these defo aren’t the existing - this will probably be the facility for the community heating system, using the water from monkwearmouth colliery as a heat source.

That's further over where the bridge to the wheatsheaf is. It would be canny if it was shops and maybe another food place/bar/cafe, but it would be massively disappointing if it remained what it is now
