Well, lets be fair, there's about 5,000 people that live in cougar ridge. The average home seems to be about $500,000 for that area (tax assessment). I'd wager a large amount of those people are working downtown paying a fair amount of taxes on top of their property tax and are important members of the Calgary economy.
Like the part I deleted from your post, don't know why, anyway, it'd be nice to see what a bridge would cost before any special efforts go into it, that would tell more of the story. I've decided I really don't care enough either way. The money will get spent/wasted one way or another. At least I'd run over the bridge one day. Or use it one some lame walking around the area date while holding hands and having a special moment
