...everyone interviewed likes it and is in favour. ha ha.

The online poll had a slight majority not liking the design.
Funny how people who are actually out and using the paths (the people they interviewed) understand its need and appreciate it.
The Sun always likes to sensationalize things like these, and then you open the paper to see its a Rick Bell editorial. Someone mentioned in this thread about getting high school / college kids to design the bridge. You could do that, but then you get the Calgary Sun calibre quality going into the project. I swear high school kids can write better than the Sun. It's like they don't even use a spell check on their articles.
