The replica bridge option is useless, if you want to replace the current bridge than please don't try and imitate what was a funtional design style from a hundred years ago (the equivalent of a 1900's south circle bridge). I understand why you might choose to save the existing bridge as it is a piece of history but a replica is not the original.

To those that think a signature bridge is too expensive step back for a minute and consider that what we build now will last at least 100 years, and in that time the difference on 30 million to 60 million is insignificant.(it's like buying a hundred thousand dollar house and hating it, sure you're paying less on it over the twenty years but you still have to live in it everyday)

You're right Saskatoon is not Paris and never will be but that does not mean that it can't be more than it is today. To use a funtional design in a location that is in the very heart of the city is a betrayal of the quality of our community and a betrayal of those who will have to live with our decision for the next century. Make no mistake "pretty" is important its part of why people enjoy living where ever they make their homes or why they spend more to buy a nice shiny new F150 when they could get where they want to go in a rusty chevette or why there is a cosmetic surgery industry.

To Kruzat take a deep breath and learn to have a little patience the worst thing to do would be to rush to a decision because the morning commute is 5 minutes longer, if it upsets you so much maybe you should consider a different mode of transportation.
