What do we pride ourselves on tourists saying when they come to Calgary? Wow, what a clean city!

No, people won't go home and tell everybody "You gotta go to Calgary. They have this bridge......." But a nice looking bridge will help the appearance of the city; and that appearance is of a clean city.

I still stand by the fact that it shouldn't cost 150% more to make a pretty bridge though.
