As long as access to the 417 is good, I don't think the usefulness of the bridge would be restricted. Also having access to key arterials (like Ogilvie and Montreal Rds) would boost the usefulness.

Interestingly, checking the TMP, Hemlock/Beechwood is designated an Arterial west of St. Laurent, but only a collector (not even a major collector) east of it; however, that is just a designation and could be changed. I do find that surprising though as the entire length feels more like a major collector to me, but what do I know.
I suspect a very large percentage of Rockcliffe and Manor Park residents would agree with you. New Edinburgh and Linden Lea too, because New Edinburgh and Linden Lea ..
