Council going ahead with $25M bridge plan
As the battle over the city budget nears, some of the expected tension spilled over into city council when plans for two pedestrian bridges -- lightning rods for criticism of city spending -- were left intact Monday.
The debate over the $25-million plans, which include cash for designing two "iconic" bridges over the Bow River and building one of them, got heated at one point, forcing Mayor Dave Bronconnier to remind aldermen to respect their colleagues.
