City scraps downtown pedestrian bridge project in Guelph Ontario.
City scraps downtown pedestrian bridge project in Guelph Ontario.
'This decision allows pedestrian bridge options for the area to be evaluated with further input from the community'
Months after cancelling the construction contract for a new downtown pedestrian bridge in the face of “unforeseen challenges,” city officials have called off the project altogether.
As stated in a post on the city’s website on Friday, plans to build a bridge over the Speed River connecting The Ward with Downtown Guelph have been scrapped. Instead, city officials will look for ways to include pedestrian flow into another nearby project over the river.

Welp, just ban cars from the other bridge and we'll all benefit
Ban cars in the city!... Where's my Amazon package? And my Uber eats order? And my hello meal box?...
Ban personal vehicles from cities and you can still order as many Amazon packages as you wish
How do you pick up your disabled kid from school and take em to the doctor 50km away on a bicycle? In the dream world that also has perfect and free transit?
You cannot ban cars without having a solid public transit network, obviously. Besides, in nearly all cases you'd take a child to a closer doctor anyways because visiting a doctor shouldn't require car ownership, ever.
People don't change family doctors when they move though, so that banks on you living in the same place forever
Its a city. All delivered by cargo bicycle
Lol here's my moving guys carrying all my furniture on bicycles.
Oh shoot my kids are done school, and I gotta take them to the dentist right after. Let me strap them and a baby seat to my back while I climb on this bicycle.
Oh here comes the bicycle delivering my new 60" tv!
Sucks I'm disabled and have no way to ride a bicycle, guess I'll fucking die
That's literally how most able bodied folks live in cities. Busses work fine for folks in wheelchairs.
Maybe you should visit a city and see how deliveries work there. This isn't the 1990s.
