Hilariously, in the context of my above post, spending 24 million on the peace bridge is actually one of those things that DID make Calgary closer to a world class city.
People take pictures on it, people come to see it and thousands use it every day. It's used as the face of Calgary in publications, in top 10 lists and other articles.
We've gotten far more than 24 million of value from the peace bridge than most other grand things we've built.
