I filled out the survey at https://www.edmonton.ca/projects_plans/roads/edmonton-strathcona-county-footbridge
There should be some benches and planters (shut up @archited ) but overall I approve of this project.

 

[archited]

^^^^ Agreed (in this case).

 

[Gronk!]

Construction may begin this summer!

$41M approved for new footbridge over North Saskatchewan River

Residents and trail users on the northeast edge of Edmonton are getting a new connection to the other side of the river.

I heard the actual work gets started this fall with freeze up. should see access from the west get started as well. No issues with the east side.

Here's the What We Heard report, along with a summary of the opposition to the project (keeping in mind there were valid concerns about sightlines, separation of pedestrians and cyclists, etc.)

Ah yes, because spending money anything that isn't "essential" is just a waste of money right?

And people wonder why things are the way they are here...

 

[BrettB]

Looking at the report, 82% either strongly support (64%) or support (18%) the preliminary footbridge design. That level of support blows my mind!

 

[Gronk!]

It blows my mind that 82% support this and yet the small minority of them (who hail from the Kerry Diotte fanbase) wants this shelved in favor of pothole repairs.

Need not worry about the opposition, this bridge will get built as designed.

I bet even a few of them will use this bridge and learn to appreciate it over time
