Although mind you, there is an Assiniboine ped bridge planned even though it's spitting distance from the Osborne Bridge...so maybe it could happen.

On paper I 100% agree with you, however mid winter if youre wanting to get over to the ice wall in Whittier park from the main population centre on Waterfront, thats a bit of a hike (not impossible at all but people are lazy when its cold).
Allowing the population on Waterfront (and the exchange in general) to have easier access to a park would solve the endless "green space" argument we seem to have...
That said, you are right that a ped bridge over the Red would be a very costly thing... It would be a pretty big financial commitment by the city.
