I just wish there was some middle ground.

I have seen in other cities where a nice bridge contributes to the skyline, or at least makes it more picturesque. I'm thinking how much everybody raves about the new Provencher Bridge in Winnipeg, but that might also be because there's nothing else good in Winnipeg.

I just don't see how you can have a fully functional bridge for $10M, but it takes $15M more to make it look good. Couldn't something be done for an extra $2M and make everybody happy?
