I still believe that the bridge is a underwhelming, goofy lazy design. I don't like the city processes for single source awarding this, and I have a strong belief that by the time this is said and done a 25 million dollar price tag will look reasonable compared to what we're going to pay for it.

I have problems with a design that forced it to be basically built in Spain, shipped across the ocean, and then driven across this country.

I don't have problems with pedestrian bridges at all, I think its great, I think that this thing is ridiculous.

I am more then curious about the final results of the Audit of City of Calgary purchasing processes that was to be released today.
