Another crazy idea I once read about was building a giant suspension bridge (like the long ones that are build these days) and putting a new highway/cycling path right through downtown on it. In the drawings I saw, it looked like the bridge went right through downtown, and the article even talked about making the pillars into apartment buildings that arched over the bridge. How crazy would that be? I don’t remember you mentioning it, but I had heard of it before.

I still think that would be a pretty good idea, and would definately make Toronto stand out from other big cities. (Because that is just one step closer to our views of "the future") Remember me telling you about the Velo-City last year?
