Rivers in town hexes

[cjsiam]

2) Given Bridges are so important---and that in the rules Motorized cannot cross Minor rivers except at bridges or fords---Does the
 fact a minor river is in a town hex---does the fact it's a town hex NEGATE the River crossing constraint? --- I'd think not---or bridges have no point....
 So the fact it is a Town hex does not give motorized units a path across river without paying river penalties (or Inf and Mech...you pay Minor River costs to enter square, and you stop when you exit)...

Given that roads within the town have no point. Building placement and type within have no point. What is the argument that bridges within the town have some point?

Rivers have a point.....
and Bridges are needed to cross rivers....
and Bridges are called out as VP.......

I guess there is some priority implicit in terrain....the fact that there are woods does not negate hills...
The fact that there is a town does not negate the river.....
