If Sunnyside and Hillhurst were to double or more in density then that alone IMO is worth the extra pedestrian bridge from the City's POV.
Yes, this has been my main argument in favour of the Peace Bridge, especially given that Kensington is already bursting at the seams in terms of peak traffic. The area can support a greater density of population, as long as it does not come with an increase in rush hour traffic, and the way around that is to make sure that the vast number of new residents will be planning to walk or bike downtown for work.
