What? How can you say that something that is in downtown (a place where most Calgarians visit frequently) will be used less then something that is used by some community in the deep south that, at best, only 5-10% of the city ever visits?
How many citizens/visitors are in Prince's Island Park every day? How many people ride to work downtown and can use this bridge to do so? This could be the world's ugliest bridge, and in the end it would still be used by more people than the most spectacular bridge in the deep south. There are valid arguments against this bridge, but yours is not one of them.
