Looks like they've really redesigned the whole layout, including a new Central Park-style parkspace (park surrounded by tall buildings). Honestly, it looks a lot more logically laid out now.

The pedestrian bridge now seems to connected to the wooded area of the ION OMSF, which is pretty far from the ION station. I don't really see the point of it as it's currently shown, seems like a bridge to nowhere that will never be used. They need to bridge to actually meaningfully connect to the ION station, without an extremely circuitous route.
Presumably there would be a trail through the wooded area. Can't put the bridge next to Northfield due to the on/off-ramps. Don't know how much shorter the trip would be if the bridge were from closer the middle of the development, or whether the private property owner on the other side would agree to it.
Knowing actual distances would be very useful.
