I highly doubt no one could follow the point Left Wing was making. It wasn't that hard to follow.

- Prone to cost overruns
- Generally only practically useful in the day-to-day lives of relatively small group people who live in or visit very small areas of the city.
- Prone to procedural missteps on the part of the City
- Associated with a niche transport mode that has correlation with particular lifestyle choices
And my argument is that when you say relatively small, it's actually relatively tiny. It's about use. Maybe someday the bridge will be used a heck of a lot more, but since it's opened, there's barely been a whisper. Also, the interchange I traveled over in the wee hours of the morning had a number of vehicles on it. For the last 10 minutes or so, the bridge has been empty. Just an observation.
