Isn't there a bridge between both towns?

There is a bridge, but is it safe and practical for pedestrians to use? It's quite some walking distance from the towns they connect, too.

I was told by the Bridge Authority that due to insurance liability, Pedrestrian/Cyclists are prohibited on the bridge. 

If the Ferry is resurrected it will be only for Pedestrians/Bikes.

That is something that would work in Sarnia as well, since the bridge is part of the highway.
