On the Lansing side, even before the SWLP extends across Waverly, that bridge would do a lot to connect (the few) Delta Township residents near Anderson to the river trail. There's just a quarter mile or so along Waverly to navigate from Jolly to the pathway (and the greater trail system). But you're right, going the other direction, Anderson is a bit of a dead end coming from Lansing.
It's in the master plan to extend a shared use path down Old Lansing Rd east to the Waverly Pathway and to the future Carrier Creek Path to the west, so there is a plan there. I just don't see why Delta would make the Old Lansing route a priority over Carrier Creek or connecting Grand Woods to Delta Mills, both of which would serve far more residents. The Lansing Rd route would certainly be lower hanging fruit. I guess at the end of the day I'm just happy to see trails get improved and expanded, even if it's not exactly what I wanted.
