And, this one is located right next to the densest part of the city to connect it to an emerging new centre and improve the core's walkability. I can't blame them for going ahead.
Not even though the area was already serviced by two other bridges within 5 minutes of each other that lead to the densest part of downtown and the fact they actually had no idea if they could use that pillar when they started out or that a bridge could have better served people at the highschool and the surrounding delta area and trails on both sides of the river which are much further away from a crossing.
