How can a bridge connect two entrances to the nation's capital when you're already in the nation's capital on either side?

By tourists do they mean people from Manotick/Riverside South touring Barrhaven?

I'm fine with the bridge being renamed after Vimy Ridge but personally if we were going to commemorate this name somewhere I would have rather it not be on a random suburban bridge in southern Ottawa.

Was there nothing more fitting and related to the two communities that the bridge could have been named after instead? I just feel like after council announced that they would take suggestions for renaming the bridge this was the first group to act and that's why their voices were the loudest. Anyways, I digress and kudos to the Legions for all their work!
