Something like the bridge in Porto, Portugal would be awesome.

There's no way they aren't building a new bridge if that's the cost estimate. There is no way to rationalize rehabbing the existing structure for that cost, especially since the rehab would only get a certain amount of additional years rather than a full life cycle.

From the drawings I still haven't figured out how a vehicle accesses the above ground parking section. Wonder if there will be like some kind of courtyard on top of the above ground parking roof.

I don't think so. I have heard the CSA might actually be paying for this friendly.

I don't hate the concept as a temporary use since it looks like the parking will actually be paved and have decent landscaping treatment but my fear is that since it would require a relatively high capital investment just for the interim use, that it will be a while until development actually...

It's a shame we haven't capitalized on making Wabamun into more of a destination.

Recently went to the UK for a couple weeks and spent some time in Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool, and London. Some thoughts and photos below: Inspiration for the former Rossdale Power Plant: - Battersea Power Station (London): They have turned this former coal power station into a fairly large...
