An interesting way to get uphill

Trondheim, a Norwegian college town with a student traffic problem,
has found a novel solution for helping bicyclists and pedestrians get

inspiration nonetheless!

This is a great technological solution for the steep part of the
proposed connector trail between Grant Street and the Blaney House.
Jennifer Selin of the City Council was wondering whether something like
this could be done. This particular solution is narrow enough that
bicyclists/pedestrians could choose whether or not to use the adjacent
trail, and would provide a practical solution to the alternative of
building switchbacks which may not be feasible because of the width of
the existing trail. Thanks for providing this information!
