Poorly articulated? Now come on. This part is bang on though:

You're so right, I've been attempting to call into question that ridiculous argument. Unfortunately I don't have any hard evidence, and neither does anyone else. So it's just down to observations. Yesterday I observed that there were not many people using the bridge. Yesterday I also observed that there were *a lot* of people on the McKenzie Towne interchange.

And why would it matter that it's the third day of operation? Are you implying that there's still a bunch of people that haven't heard about it yet? I'm thinking just about everyone has heard about it (again, just an observation - I have no data to support the assertion that every person in Calgary does or does not know that the bridge exists). However, isn't there a novelty factor with something this new? Shouldn't more people be on it now than if it was the same weather conditions / time a year down the road when it's not such a big deal?
