I'm very aware that the Petitcodiac river is nobody's trashcan, but somehow it always seemed like a good spot for broken-hearted people to romantically throw off their bad memories...
I like the new Gunningsville bridge. It's the first time in Moncton's history that we have a bridge that actually fits our tricky chocolate river. At low tide, the Petitcodiac is a little brook somewhere in a much wider marsh. At high tide, the whole marsh can become the river. Our past bridges tried to run on the marsh as causeways (like the controversial "other bridge upstream", in the last frame, or the pre-2005 Gunninsville Bridge) with a small part of it being a proper bridge. The new Gunningsville bridge runs high, meters over the whole marsh, leaving it all the room it needs.
