Longquan Road is a busy road through the town. Every day, more than 5 thousand cars run on it and thousands of people cross it. When these people cross the zebra crossing near a bookshop, some traffic accidents (事故) may happen and sometimes the traffic goes slowly because too many people are crossing the zebra crossing.

The government of this city is going to build a footbridge to replace (代替) the zebra crossing. It will cost(花费) over 500,000 yuan. Most drivers think it is a good idea because cars can go faster than before without the zebra crossing. Many parents also like this plan because they think crossing the footbridge will be safer (更安全的) than crossing the zebra crossing for their kids. However, some old people don’t like the idea. They say it will take more time to cross the road, and climbing up the steps of the footbridge makes them tired. Shop owners near the zebra crossing also think it is a bad idea. They think there will not be so many people coming to their shops as before.
