You are spot on!!!!!

In addition, some of the biggest beneficiaries of this quaint area aside from current residents are campers near the Skinners Falls Bridge.

A bigger bridge or extra tonnage bridge would bring more traffic and larger vehicles to the area. This would directly add more harmful emissions and pollution to the atmosphere and be unhealthy for the campers trying to get away from the congested cities at an affordable price. Many of the campers of recent years have been recent immigrants into the country. I guess the powers that be are not that caring about the need for these immigrants to get some clean fresh air up in the country. You bet your bottom dollar that if this bridge were located near a private golf club or country club, this conversation would end. The bridge would be rehabilitated to its former historic glory. Systemic racism is a reality when it comes to these issues.
