Fair point, but even the title of the thread invites the comments that we are seeing. This thread has been as much about mocking arguments against pedestrian bridges as the bridges themselves.

This bridge, obviously, is different. Public/private partnership is good for the taxpayer, and improvements to vehicular and pedestrian traffic will be nice. I haven't actually heard anyone actually complain about it - seriously, at least.

I used that last year, I am surprised it's closed now. It gave you an opportunity to feel like you were in a completely different town. A scary, stinky town.

I like it. Now eliminate the lights there and flow it freely.

Turn the Rape Tunnel into a turning lane. Problem solved.

Man, give me 20 minutes in the City Planner's office and I can have this place sorted out.

I bet you'd resurrect the downtown penetrator too.

You mean the thread that exists as satire based on the original Peace Bridge thread?

Duly noted. I'll move the satire out of the satire thread.

Crap, should this have been in the sarcasm thread?

Did somebody get hit by the Pedestrian Bridge again? That thing is an unqualified public menace!

I heard a pedestrian was hit by the C-Train on the Peace Bridge over the weekend. Sad!

I honestly didn't know there was a tunnel there and I've lived here my whole life! It's like learning about the downtown subway all over again. Calgarians don't like being moles apparently.

The design for the Chinook pedestrian bridge is pretty nice. Not sure how well it will match with the mall's façade, which is beginning to look pretty dated, though.
