It's one of the proposals on the table, but I don't think a final decision has been made yet. I seem to recall that the staff recommendation was demolition (ie. it was, by far, the cheapest option on the table).
Yeah, that was their proposal, there was push back thank goodness. It ticks me off though, staff recommend demolishing the bridge despite knowing full well the bridge is used by cyclists and mennonite buggies who would have to find a different route on roads which do not have safe infrastructure. This absolutely will result in deaths and injuries. It is ONLY cheap because they are allowed to not consider safety or suitability for other users except drivers.
Killing people should be extremely expensive...not free.
