Why not just get highschool and university students in Calgary to come up with designs for a good price to pay for their educations or something? There is a alot of young creative talent in our youth. Then get an engineering firm (of which this city abounds with) to sort it out and you are done.

You want a high school or college students designing a bridge that is going to carry millions of people across it each year?
I think we need to leave these sorts of things to the professionals.
