It's pretty integral to the East Village revitalization. Also connections across the Bow River are very poor in this area. I think the new bridge will really help unlock the potential of St. Patrick's Island, which is a sadly underutilized gem in the city. The East Village master plan shows some really, really interesting ideas for St. Patrick's Island - it could easily be just as good or even better than Prince's Island.
Table5 - I love the tags to the thread! ha ha.

Obviously, I've been smoking way too much crack. I thought this bridge was going to be traversing the Bow at the westernmost point of Prince's Island. Hence the crack about Druh Farrell.
I didn't even know that there was a St. Patrick's Island.
