I think Langevin bridge should absolutely be on the list because it's become an easily recognisable landmark. Sure it's just a regular boring old bridge (I think the structure itself is beautiful as well, but to each their own), but the lighting treatment that it has received have turned it into a symbol of the city. If a visitor came to Calgary, drove/walked around the downtown for a bit and then told them to meet you at the "bridge with all the colourful lights" they would know what you're talking about. Similarly, if you told them to meet you at "The Giant old bridge with the lions" or "the funky red bridge" they would also know what you're talking about.
