Heads up there's also a half marathon, 5 mile, and 1km fun walk going on that same day starting at Eau Claire heading past the bridge. Should be fully wrapped up by the time the Latte party begins, but parking might be less available than a usual saturday.

This made me laugh, and think of this gem of a line heard on a radio interview about this bridge:

"Who's going to visit it? There's nowhere to park near it."

So, theoretically speaking of course, what sort of security would be employed to keep me off this bridge before it's officially opened?

I just want to know how long it would take from me walking to the middle of the bridge to being arrested for trespassing. Say, longer than 5 minutes?

"or parade or dance"

Not sure what they're getting at there, but those words pretty much uninvite every straight male in the City.

Man, way too gay for me.

Honestly, poetry at a damned bridge?

Are the poems going to be about the bridge? If so, count me in. I love bridge poems. Those are the best kind.

Come on guys, it says to wear red. So the CP contigent can show up in our Flames jerseys and strut along the bridge to "man up" the event.

I can't believe there is actually going to be a celebration for this disaster.

Poetry, dancing bongo drums, sounds like a hippy infestation to me

Well... The bridge does go to Sunnyside/Kensington. Main purpose: Hippy access to downtown

Are people still upset over this issue? Cripes.

Tell you what - lets spend $1 million of taxpayer money knocking it down.

Did you actually read what I was getting at.

I don't care about the bridge itself, its there,I think its ugly as crap, but I can't change that.

But I would expect that there is going to be some major backlash against the city once the final budget overages are released.

I wasn't blowing up the bridge because its the bridge, I was blowing up the bridge because I hate hippies.

Cripes

Why wouldn't they be? If you are someone who objected to the bridge to begin with...what has changed that would cause someone to alter their viewpoint?
