The original idea was to run trams under the road deck. The trouble with a walkway this length is policing it. It would rapidly become a drug dealers/mugger's paradise.
You have to ask, too, how many people want to go from the centre of Birkenhead to the centre of Liverpool and back. I think most of the cars going through the old tunnel are bound for the outskirts of Birkenhead or even further via the A41. The new tunnel is largely motorway traffic.

Have you seen the queues coming in from Wallasey in the mornings, there are many disgruntled drivers that would disagree with you. Yes, policing would be a problem but some sort of pre-registration (ID) and/or pre-payment scheme could help towards that. It works in other places and while we are the centre of the universe there is no reason it couldn't be made to work here.

I only recently discovered that there is a pedestrian tunnel under the Clyde. One under the Tyne too: http://www.tynepedestrianandcyclisttunnels.co.uk/With a nice free service while work is going on: For those who rely on the tunnels to travel for work outside of the shuttle bus hours and who have no alternative means of crossing the river, a free, night service is being provided for registered pedestrians and cyclists, with pick-ups on the South at Tyne Street, Jarrow and on the North at Tyne View Terrace, Howdon.
