The Brisbane City Council is interested in landing a pedestrian bridge that would connect West End and Toowong on the site of the now-demolished ABC Toowong building.

Deputy mayor Krista Adams said the council wouldn’t purchase the full site, but is interested in buying a portion after negotiating with the private owner.

The West End-Toowong bridge would be one of the five new green bridges part of a pledge made by lord mayor Adrian Schrinner three months ago.
