If suburban citizens get to have their interchanges and new infrastructure, I see no reason as to why inner-city residents can't have a pedestrian bridge, at a very small cost compared to other projects,, no less. After all, that is infrastructure too. The residual effects of having this bridge will only be positive, ranging from increased economic activity (tourism, local business, etc.) to more efficient transportation to green sustainability initiatives.

I have a lot of beefs with how the city spends money including on interchanges and what not. Urban sprawl is a huge problem here. The bridge is but one example of how the decision making is flawed in this city - and that's my biggest issue. But this thread is about the bridge which is why I focused on that. If we want to get into the larger problems - we'll likely find we are closer to being on the same page.
