The mayor's inner circle is walking away from a pedestrian and cycling bridge planned for Pembina Highway.

The bridge over Pembina at Bishop Grandin is one of the items not moving forward.

Instead the city will build $35 million worth of projects with help from Ottawa, including a similar bridge for Chief Peguis Trail and other protected bike paths.

The report now moves to council for final approval.
