The plan is still for an 8th St active transportation bridge. The issue is there is the same amount of funding for that bridge as there is for the active transportation bridges at the UofM/St Vital and McFayden Park/Assiniboine bridges here in Winnipeg.

It would likely get a bit of a nod considering the recently removed bridge and its now lost connections. Likely a couple of years out.
