If I were to design a Northwest Arm crossing it would have pedestrian paths, bike lanes, and 2-3 vehicle lanes (perhaps 1 transit if there are 3). I think having just an active transportation bridge could be good too. It would serve a dual purpose, connecting people on the peninsula side to Fleming Park, and connecting Armdale to the peninsula (Armdale would be walking distance to Dal). I would not do a highway-style bridge with big approaches.

I'm not really sold on the idea that it's guaranteed that the South End folks would all hate an attractive bridge that connects them up with new recreational sites. The Peace Bridge in Calgary or Millennium Bridge in London are somewhat comparable. They are small attractions in their own right. This bridge would run from South St to the park on the other side.
