In some ways I prefer the St Patricks Bridge over the Peace Bridge. While not a landmark by any means, I like the fact that its wide deck allows allows for easy flow of movement (Peace can feel a little closed-in), and it has some benches and stopping points, to better take in the view. The quality of construction/materials seems to be better too (I still cringe at those ugly welds, and cheap track lighting, on the Peace), although I'm sure it was a lot easier to build.
It's not a postcard magnet like the Peace bridge, but a solid addition to the area for sure.
Both are great. I'd gladly take 5 more of them!
