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?
Thank you. Once or twice it's funny but we get it. People complained about the Peace bridge. Ha ha ha. Funny stuff! Maybe remind us once more for good times sake in a sarcastic post that people complained about it because that's funny stuff!

Makes as much sense as "I'll never interact with you, therefore you shouldn't have been born."
For the record, that was complete satire. During the thread that inspired this thread title, there was massive complaining that the Peace Bridge was only for residents of Sunnyside so no one else should have to pay for it. I see you joined after that thread had run it's course, so understandably that wasn't obvious.

There's a new pedestrian bridge going up at Westbrook Mall to replace the old one. I hope it's extremely controversial and puts all the NIMBY'ers into a chaotic rage.

Should spend $100 million on it and clean it with NIMBY tears

Is it replacing the existing one - ole' rusty? When is it slated to be installed?
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.
Malls usually take like 20 years to catch up. This is definitely a 1999 looking post-modernist architecture mall design. I'm sure that in the 2020s, CF can just add more vertical cladding to cover up the rounded, angular beige bits. Hell, underneath the whole thing is a 1950s International Style professional building with bits of brutalist architecture in the rest.
If it wasnt sandwiched between a main road and some rich as hell NIMBYs it would probably have a roller-coaster and its own airport.
When they invent anti-gravity technology Chinook Centre is just going to be this enormous lumbering mass floating above us and children will think that its where God lives.

The controversial Peace Bridge is now one of the most-used walking and cycling routes in Calgary. The councillor behind it reveals the project’s stormy process

I feel sorry for some of the city councillors. They're going to be forgotten as soon as they're out of city council and really have no legacy at all, while those who actually bring something to the city will be remembered for it.

Oh don't worry Farrell will have a long remembered legacy. Being remembered and having a legacy isn't always a good thing as a good councilor can do their jobs well without making noise and being front and center on controversial subjects.
The new Jaipur bridge in Eau Claire opened a few days ago, it's wider than its predecessor so that is quite nice. However I think they could have still made it even wider.
