Fountain Promenade Traditional Geocache
onecrazycanadian: Hi,
I'm archiving this listing since it's been at least 2 weeks since I last contacted you and there has been no response. If you correct the problem I indicated at some time in the near future I will take another look at it and may consider unarchiving the cache.
Thanks

The Provencher Paired Bridges Project - the replacement of an 83 year old structure with two new structures designed to meet the needs of the public well into the 21st century.
On September 5, 2000, Winnipeg's City Council approved the preliminary design and authorized the start of detailed design and environmental licensing for the Paired Bridges, to replace the existing Provencher Bridge.
The Paired Bridges design includes two separate bridges - one designed primarily for vehicles and commuter cyclists and the other designed exclusively for pedestrians, cyclists, and recreational users. The slender-profile vehicular bridge includes two through lanes in each direction, divided by a centre median, and features a short right turn lane for traffic turning onto Ave Tache southbound. The pedestrian bridge is a modern cable-stayed structure, light and elegant, featuring a large plaza for commercial activities -- a meeting place that will connect Provencher Boulevard to The Forks physically, economically and culturally. The Paired Bridges are expected to strengthen the connection between The Forks and the St. Boniface French Quarter, becoming a symbolic gateway between two of Winnipeg's most historically significant communities and promoting commerce and tourism.
As this is a microcache it contains only a logbook. Bring your own writing stick.
