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.

Ban cars in the city!... Where's my Amazon package? And my Uber eats order? And my hello meal box?...

Ban personal vehicles from cities and you can still order as many Amazon packages as you wish

How do you pick up your disabled kid from school and take em to the doctor 50km away on a bicycle? In the dream world that also has perfect and free transit?

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.
