Ok fair enough. Im happy with what is there and think we should add to it, not rip up, destroy and rebuild. It would be silly to demolish as perfectly good 6m wide concrete pathway (that has structural capacity for large vehicles). I would support a rework of the eau claire bridge area to make it feel more open and add some east village-type accents. Then we could focus the money on the area west of the Louise Bridge on both sides of the river. I want more of those east village steps down to the river!!!
