I honestly can't picture Calgary's skyline without it. It's an icon.
You can't picture Calgary's skyline without a bridge at the bottom of the Bow River valley? You can't even see it unless you're on the north side of the river...


In hindsight both sides on the 'debate' about the bridge were hyperbolic. The "waste of money" was vastly overblown, but so too are the alleged world-renowned accolades. It's a bridge; it's fine. I still think the interface with the pathway system on the north side is dumb.
