Debate Over the Peace Bridge Continues

Stephanie Watt

With new estimated costs being thrown around for Calgary’s Peace Bridge, opinions have been flaring as to whether or not this new structure is really welcome. In the blog article below by the Calgary Cowbell, the writer sticks strong to his beliefs that this bridge should be accepted among Calgary’s citizens and council. The writer welcomes the bridge and hopes for more high tech architecture to grace our streets in the future. He argues that people need to start appreciating the bridge for what it is, a beautiful piece of work that “shares our hopes and dreams” and quit chattering about the price. The cost will be taken out of the city’s capital and not added to our tax dollars he argues, and he even claims the bridge is one in the same with memorial statues we already have scattered around the city.
