If Charlie Clark gets his way and stops the bridge from being replaced, I suggest the Traffic Bridge be renamed "Clark's Crossing."
In all seriousness, there should be more than three options on the table. I don't want the current bridge rehabilitated for reasons I've already mentioned, but neither replacement option is very inspiring. I dislike the modern steel truss bridge's appearance, lack of 1.5m bike lanes/shoulders, and its cost. I dislike a modern concrete bridge's appearance, but like its cost and 1.5m bike lanes/shoulders. I wish there were a couple more options as I would not mind the city spending a bit more money on a bridge that looks good.
