And for someone who doesn't work or live downtown, there is a cost associated with using the Peace Bridge. It costs money to move around, even for transit and there is a time cost in going downtown just to walk on the bridge.
That bridge was built for the people who live or work downtown, but everyone else had to pay for it too.

That's your (their) choice. Its a public facility that can be used by anyone in the city for free at any time. People will not have that same choice with the rink or stadium, they will have to pony up hundreds (in the case of the Flames) of dollars just to see it once - do you think most Calgarians can afford that?
