Really disappointed by this decision; while a bit superflous, it was an important connection and could have been quite an attraction.

At least it hasn't been cancelled outright. I'm bummed out about it and it would've been a great attraction, but not surprised council put this one on the shelf with all the other projects needing funding.

The gondola has been suspended so suspending the bridge makes sense.

The bridge was a suspension design -- I guess that was forefront in the minds of Councillors wanting to fulfill the meme. Worse, now some of the wheelchair-bound will have much farther in some instances to travel in order to take the funicular ride.

In all seriousness, if the gondola was to be built then investment in that area would be justified because it would become a bona-fide attraction. Without the gondola, it's just kinda lame.

Killing the gondola and regional transit are the 2 most frustrating things this council has done. Both decisions have set the city back tremendously.

Exactly! Approving both would have had minimal impacts on the total property tax rate.
