Grand River Transit

I mean, there are limits in place.  Investing in another new bridge is a great way to ensure those limits don’t get enforced.

I sort of think it's going to happen either way (that is, both the bridge and development). Whether or not we think it's a good thing is a different discussion. However, having the bridge isn't a terrible idea as it would allow for alternative transportation to and from Breslau. As it is now, it's a fast growing community, and has few options other than car for getting around. With a bridge, you now open up GRT access, cycling and even walking.

I think this is defeatist. This will happen if we let it happen, resigning it to ourselves to it happening lets it happen. If we instead resolve for it not to happen, we can stop it.

As for transportation, there are two bridges already, active transportation and GRT service could easily be provided without an additional bridge.  In fact, there is easily room to put active transportation on the existing Victoria St. bridge without even removing lanes.

Edit: For reference, here's a proposed low cost (at least for Phase 1) multi-phase Victoria St. MUT expansion that would connect Breslau and the planned future suburbs with cycling/ped infra to the rest of the city...probably on order of 500k dollars--it isn't 8-80, but for 500k, it should still be a no brainer. https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1...Ij6Jl7etJS&usp=sharing
