I do find it odd that Hehr couldnt get more funding. I am thinking big left supporters are weary of donating money if McIvor is just going to walk away with it.

In the long run I think the bridge will be more used by cyclists than walkers. Right now a lot of people on bike try to cross at 9th street and in the morning and afternoon it gets really congested. The cyclists coming down the path from Bowness, St. Andrews Heights, and Kensington will most likely cross the river on the new bridge. The same will go for the cyclists coming down 10th and 14th from areas such as Capitol Hill and Mt. Pleasant.
