Sadly that's it - financially feasible - is the problem. It should be built because it would improve transport linksand connect up Rotherhithe, which is a bit of a dead area, but it won't. And no-one is going to pay to use a pedestrian bridge.

connect up Rotherhithe
It's possible that Rotherhithe would not appreciate this... It's one of the "peninsulas" and while it's been a while since I did any work there, they certainly used to have quite a vociferous residents' group and didn't seem terribly keen on outsiders.
Edit: So maybe that's exactly what it needs!

It's every ten minutes - quicker than going miles out of your way (unless you're Hippy).
As for the £3 - well, I can't imagine something spanning the river at that point, which would have to be either very high or openable or both, would be financially feasible without some kind of toll.
