Its my personal opinion as a twice daily user of the Bow river pedestrian bridges that this is exactly the case. It's needed badly (to the point they have traffic warning signs on the other bridges currently) but it was communicated very poorly.
Opposition of the bridge on the other hand was quite vocal and painted it as a play toy for the residents of Sunnyside/Hillhurst, which is not the case. People from many areas of the city North of the river use the bridges downtown.
