I think this whole worrying about something looking dated is another horrible Calgarian trait when it comes to this.
The Calgary tower started to look dated after 20 years too, I'm sure 20 years after it was built the centre st bridge look dated, but you stick with architecture, don't blow it up when you think it looks "old" and let them mature and age and instead of looking old and dated, things look vintage and classic.
In 2032 people will look at the Peace Bridge and say - "Wow, what a dated piece of crap from 2010"
But 10 years after that and beyond it's - "What a cool piece of design work from the early 2000s"
Calgary is so quick to get rid of things that look dated and not let them age and become classic. Drives me up the wall, new new new new.
Ugh, rant over sorry. Don't even know if any of that made sense.
