Aesthetics
- Structure height tapers down towards neighbourhood
- Variable height when viewed from Whitemud Drive
User Experience
- Feeling of separation from traffic
- Clear view from bridge deck
Mike Kalmost 3 years agoLike # 1 or 3 for unobtrusive / open. Support #3 (without central support) for safety (re: cars) and would value lesser cost alternative
Single Span Girder and Value for Money
0 comment1Jacquie Holealmost 3 years agoOption 4
I think the safest option for the pedestrians as well as the one that disturbs Brookside residents the least would be to locate the bike path on the west side of the berm. This will be safest for riders, maintain privacy for those backing onto the berm, and residents along 142nd won’t lose their street parking. It also would mean less outside traffic through the community. The trail that currently exists on the north side of Brookside which goes past fox farm is extremely steep and unsafe. A trail going around the outside of Brookside running along the whitemud would be far safer.

It is my understanding that the North side of the Brookview multi use path is scheduled for completion in 2021 and the pedestrian bridge won't be ready until 2025. That's four years of multiuse path to nowhere. The city needs to outline the plan between the two projects more effectively and how they plan to use and maintain these during this time.
0 comment1d19953almost 3 years agoThis seems the best compromise
This seems to balance making a visually appealing bridge with the fact that its a bridge crossing a freeway, not a super nice location. I think providing a cost ranking would be useful. For example, if this is more expensive than the arc option, I would prefer the arc option
0 comment2Blueditalmost 3 years agoI like the designs: 2,4 most.
Beyond the designs, and I mean I know the color will differ, and gray is from the CAD output... But can we start using more colors in our city than gray or white or dull earth tones.... especially on structures like this? Bridges and pathways, especially pedestrian centered structures really could use some color in and around Edmonton.

Bridge Concept Option 2: Two-Span Girder
almost 3 years agoCLOSED: This ideas has concluded.How to participate: Share your ideas and read what others have suggested. Show your support by ‘liking’ the ideas that inspire you the most.
Questions:
- What do you like about Bridge Concept Option 2?
- What could be improved about Bridge Concept Option 2?
Structure
- Two girder spans with a pier
- Deck within girder depth
Aesthetics
- Low structure height when viewed from neighbourhood and Whitemud Drive
User Experience
- Separation from traffic while still being open to views
- Potential to curve bridge alignment
BurrowvilleWhomitealmost 3 years agoWhat does the Terwillegar bridge look like?
The bridge in the background (N/S Terwillegar) may have to be factored into the choice of the pedestrian bridge as the two bridges seen in one view should complement one another. Are there any renditions of the Terwillegar bridge to see if one bridge looks better with it in the background (if viewing heading Westbound)?
0 comment0BV walkeralmost 3 years agoIn spite of rating low on the imagination scale, I like the low structure height and the option for a curve. No straight lines in nature.
0 comment0phildalmost 3 years agoThe girder depth protects from wind and rain when it's not warm, calm and dry. But don't block the view.
0 comment1Glenn Johnsonalmost 3 years agoSimple and ok. But not sure how much user views are impacted by girder depth.

0 comment1Edmontonian1almost 3 years agoThis my favourite
Nice and clean lines, nothing tangling with traffic below
0 comment1ronijamiealmost 3 years agoThis option my favorite
Clean- simple!
0 comment0Localresalmost 3 years agoNice option, simple design. Low lines. 2&3 are top choices. Cost effective and low maintenance should be top priorities for this project.
0 comment1Janaalmost 3 years agoI support Option 3 & Option 2 as both are low structure height when viewed from the neighborhood
Keep the bridge as unobtrusive as possible to the Brookside neighborhood (i.e. bridge visibility & bridge landing)

Bridge Concept Option 4: Tied Arch

Questions:
- What do you like about Bridge Concept Option 4?
- What could be improved about Bridge Concept Option 4?
Structure
- Thin deck hung from steel arch with one pier
Aesthetics
- Sculptural form with a "gateway" feel
- Structure height is prominent from neighbourhood and Whitemud Drive
- Different height arches
User Experience
- Users travel through the arches
- Clear views from the deck
BV walkeralmost 3 years agoI like the architectural flair of this design. Its curves are in sink with Edmontons rolling hills and winding river. Could become landmark
0 comment0ILoveEdmontonalmost 3 years agoMy least favourite option.
Truly a sculptural bridge that would look great downtown or crossing over the river, but out of place in this location. Take away from the natural green trees and grassy hills that surround Brookside and Brookview. A bridge with a neutral or natural color possibly concrete-looking is perfectly fine above a concrete freeway.
0 comment0Brooksider9almost 3 years agoThis bridge has a wow factor and can become iconic for representing southwest Edmonton. It is modern and aligns with the Walterdale bridge.
0 comment1ronijamiealmost 3 years agoThis option to overstated and looks very costly
0 comment0Localresalmost 3 years agoLooks nice. Would be valuable to see the cost of this option. As a resident I would like something with a lower profile.
