This bridge has been a great addition to the neighbourhood. My family loves it, especially in the warmer months, as we can use this bridge to bike or walk to the east side of the canal, where we can then connect relatively quickly to the paths that border the Rideau River. When municipal planners seek out projects to improve quality of life, especially those that allow transport without relying on a car, they should look at infrastructure like this foot bridge.

We walk here every day. The bridge offers a great place to look out over the ever changing canal, and sunsets are really pretty seen from here. The bridge itself is graceful and is its own attraction. There is a pretty fish pond and some nice landscaping at one end in the summer months. The bridge is regularly plowed in the winter and is bike and wheelchair accessible.

Beautiful footbridge for crossing the canal, located near Lansdowne area. The bridge is beautiful in the evening, very nicely illuminated. At this time of year, there are numerous spiders on the railings! They even cast large shadows on the bridge surface. Could be great if you enjoy spiders in your personal space, but not so great if they make you squeamish.
