And go ahead if you want to tell me that you think I'm wrong, but its my opinion, just as valid as anyone elses.

You're more than welcome to dislike the bridge in terms of aesthetics (hey, I'm not crazy about the maroon color and the quality of construction/finishings myself). Tastes are always going to be subjective. What's a lot harder to discredit is the positive effect it's had on the city though. It's become a heavily relied upon bridge both for commuters and recreational riders, and has become a destination spot for both Calgarians and visitors.
I do agree that the north side of the river could use some more work though. It's like the poor cousin of the luxurious south side pathway system in comparison. Not placing a crosswalk right by the bridge was also pretty silly.
