Hmm, there are still some of them on the Peace bridge as of this morning. Unless folks keep putting them on.

There seems to be something interesting happening on the Peace Bridge this morning. It is taped off and there are dozens of police cars blocking access. When I rode by there were a couple cops walking up to the bridge in tactical gear. Possibly some sort of armed standoff?

I wonder what time it started? Last night just after the storm rolled through I was kept awake by sirens for like 45 minutes. Thought something big was on fire.

I heard a lot of sirens as well but I'm about 10km from the Peace Bridge so I'm assuming it was for something else

Somebody's clearly had all they can tolerate with those meddling cyclists who think they own the bridge and they just cant take it anymore!

Nah, we can just use those other bridges that are close by, you know the ones were trotted out as reasons why the Peace bridge wasn't needed...

We'd have to hire Calatrava's nemesis to design it. Who is that?

A missed opportunity when they didn't go with Truce and Reconciliation Bridge when renaming the Langevin Bridge.

1. That would be hilarious.

2. This is Calgary. Does Mr. Calatrava have a vastly less talented Brother? Cuz that would be our man!!

It would need to be someone who produces really banal architecture, but then executes to an exceedingly high level of craft.
