'This decision allows pedestrian bridge options for the area to be evaluated with further input from the community'

Months after cancelling the construction contract for a new downtown pedestrian bridge in the face of “unforeseen challenges,” city officials have called off the project altogether.

As stated in a post on the city’s website on Friday, plans to build a bridge over the Speed River connecting The Ward with Downtown Guelph have been scrapped. Instead, city officials will look for ways to include pedestrian flow into another nearby project over the river.

    You cannot ban cars without having a solid public transit network, obviously. Besides, in nearly all cases you’d take a child to a closer doctor anyways because visiting a doctor shouldn’t require car ownership, ever.

      People don’t change family doctors when they move though, so that banks on you living in the same place forever
