The skywalk
In Førde village a bridge is built so pedestrians can walk in the sky between two great warehouses. Even much bigger cities don't have bridges like this one. It is a result from serious design work, and is intended to let the main street look more international and fancy. The ambition of Førde village is to expand and become a modern city.
Sorry, but the bridge is not open for pedestrians except when the warhouses are open. To enter I had to climb a starcaise inside. The traffic does not seem to be very intense, so why can't people use the pedestrian crossing on the ground, just a few steps?
If you did not know that there are stores inside, you would not enter. The wiew from the skywalk is OK and look like this:
But some tremendous big fruits nearly block the inside passage. Now I look out to the chaotic surroundings across the street, at"Førde marked", and realise that another skywalk also should be recommended. May be that's what is needed to give Førde city the real image of a dynamic and fastgrowing commercial city.
