Here's a good article about the upcoming pedestrian bridges (Yes, i know it's Fast Forward, but I'm trying to highlight the quotes by a few of the alderman who voted in favor).

I think there is misconception about the bridges. It IS a capital project in that the entire design and construction of one bridge will come out of the provincial infrastructure fund, and the construction of the other being funded by land sales in the East Village redevelopment.
