If you were to stand at the corner of Attridge Drive and Central Ave, during the miles long morning and evening commute backups and whisper, "Do we need another downtown bridge ! ?". Be prepared for a thunderous "YES!", from all the stopped traffic. Most of this traffic would be prepared to enter and leave NW , and NE Saskatoon at Agra Rd. and Lenore Drive. They would not use a bridge at 71 St' because it is a "bridge too far!" It would be a 5 Mile detour to get to an address on the other side of the river. For many people, a crossing at Agra Rd. and Lenore Drive would be the shortest way. Ironically, the best way to relieve the heavy truck traffic on Circle Drive North bridge, might be to send the cars across the river at Lenore Drive/Agra Rd. YES to a new bridge at Agra Rd./ Lenore Drive. No to further work on Victoria St. bridge.
