The bridge, that would span the green space south of Argyll Rd. and north of 10 Sideroad, would link the planned development west of the green space to the existing neighbourhood on the east side. Silvana Hollett, a Danby Rd. resident and spokesperson for the group, said she has collected a petition signed by 108 people opposed to the bridge. She said the residents want Danby Rd. to end where it currently does. Some residents weren't aware a bridge was planned, and some others believed it would be built much later. "We want the road to end there," said Hollett. "They're going to congest that road and create all that traffic."
