I think it plays a big role, Southworks or no Southworks. There's a big stretch between Concession and Main without a crossing; this will aid pedestrian traffic flow.
It is a seven minute walk going from one bridge to the other bridge, from where the proposed bridge is going to be built it is a 2 minute walk from Concession and 5 minutes from Main st. I can see how it would be considered a waste of money since there is already access North and South, and to get to most of the businesses/shops/grt in Galt a person is going to go walk to Main St anyways.
A pedestrican bridge added onto the rail bridge would be a lot handier and would have a much higher use.
