With the warm-up firmly on the way for Calgary, streets are going to be a sloppy, wet and slippery mess.

Three finalists picked for East Village bridge

Engineers from Calgary , B.C. and the U.K. have made the shortlist of designs for a pedestrian bridge in the East Village.

     The three finalists were announced Monday from a total of 35 submissions.

     This bridge , which doesn't have a final pricetag yet, is expected to cost about 25 million dollars and will link St. Patrick's Island with East Village to the south and the Bow River pathway system to the north.

     One bridge is described as a subtle, low twin-arch structure, another has an arch-supported span with stress ribbons and a ramp onto St. Patrick's Island, and the final submission is a cable-stayed bridge with a soarking, leaning white mast.
