Cambridge pedestrian bridge over Grand River gains support

Build it and we will come, say some Cambridge residents about a possible pedestrian bridge over the Grand River.

About 220 residents have signed a petition supporting the bridge and favour placing it between Concession Sreet and Queen's Square in downtown Galt.

Mayor Doug Craig first proposed the idea to get more residents down to the river during his State of the City address last May.

What the article doesn't mention is that Mayor Craig didn't come up with the idea; students at the architecture school proposed it a few years ago as part of their 'What would we do with Galt?' project. Still, it's a worthwhile endeavour. They could use one up near GCI parallel to the railway bridge too - maybe keep West Galt students from using the railway bridge to get home!
