Clearly that space could be used to reduce congestion in the core right?

Totally get your point. During morning or afternoon hours there must be roughly 10 - 15 people using the shops and restaurants along 8th ave. What 30 tops? I don't know that I'd use it to reduce congestion since its probably one of the larger tourist draws in the core. But I'm sure the bridge will be even bigger someday!
Again, my original point was that comparing the bridge to interchanges was just a silly comparison. I think context is important. I was simply saying that there are thousands or even tens of thousands of people that use interchanges to help get a lot of the suck out of the commute, and there are, I'm sure, thousands or even tens of thousands of people who think the bridge looks nice.
So you're right to get angry about it, I should have thought of all the wonderful experiences three or four hundred people are going to have on there in the next month alone! You just can't put a price on good times like that.
