Footbridges like this can be a hard sell, I tend to view them as infrastructure and not much more notable than the footpaths surrounding it. There’s nothing notable about the footbridge itself, so really it just forms part of the route between other places.

Other human reviewers may disagree, and certainly I’ve seen footbridges like this included. You could take it to appeal, but I would not hold out much hope.

Hello @Vinstapix

Did the rejection email say that the decision was from “our team”? This means it was an auto reject by Emily - the machine learning driven program.
So the community didn’t get a chance to assess.
Footbridges can be tricky especially if it’s a very ordinary bridge. So you could appeal or take a photo that is more to the side with the bridge really filling the photo.

Thank you for this example. I have been seeing so many “coal” nominations to review that I was starting to think that ML rejects had been turned off again.

This footbridge has the coloring and steel structures of a construction zone, and the path here looks like a standard sidewalk, so that may be why the ai determined that it looked to be ineligible. The photo is focused nicely on the footbridge just as I would normally recommend it be taken, so this might be one to appeal. Make sure you emphasize that the footbridge meets criteria as it makes exercise and exploration possible by crossing the waterway. If the route has a name, that will help. No promises. (You did a great job not just saying “it’s a footbridge” in your nomination, so you probably wouldn’t do that in an appeal either.)

If you don’t have any appeals right now or just don’t want to use one, maybe try a photo from the side making clearer to the ai that this is crossing a body of water. Then add the other photo when it is accepted.

(Edit: if you decide to resubmit, I would suggest finding a different way to word that this is “vital infrastructure” since we often say something isn’t eligible because it is “just infrastructure.”)
