Must say doesn't seem like a priority from an S106 as it could be quite expensive to deliver once one also factors in access to/from the bridge (esp difficult given the playing fields of Glantaf).. and the fact there is already another bridge right there. The existing bridge certainly gets a fair bit of road traffic, but I don't think there is congestion in terms of pedestrian footfall! The only real benefit would be bikes, but it seems like a hefty price for a bike bridge, especially given the somewhat hilly Llandaf topography probably limits bike use quite significantly.
I'd favour improvements in bus services, or on-road cycle routes, or something with broader impact on the area. The S106 monies available might not be quite as high as usual for a site of the scale and value as this given the likely demolition costs, and costs associated with the "protected trees".
