The bridge itself: we used to have a gay mayor several years ago named Glenn Murray. He was actually a very good mayor as far as mayors go, and one of the legacies he left us with is that walking bridge alongside the new Provencher bridge you see in those pics. People renamed it "The phallic bridge"... and it spawned a lot of gay jokes at former mayor Murray's expense. But it kind of grows on you and over time I've come to like it, but people still call it the phallic bridge to this day. ha ha
