Why stop there. Couldn't we encourage people to swim across the Bow to work?
It has excellent health benefits. For a fraction of the $25 M the city could cover swim leasons for those interested. And they would get the added bonus of the health rebates offered by the province.
It would be a win-win-win scenerio.

I can get to work downtown by bicycle just fine on the current infrastructure, and they're not exactly overcrowded at this time. The bridges are an unnecessary expense at a time when the city needs to spend money in other places.
