Its interesting to note that this plan is ante-Mackay and there isn't even a notation of a possible "future traffic facility" where the Mackay now stands. The Harbour Drive plan has a much different complexion without the Mackay.

Yes, good point - the MacKay wasn't built at this time. The drawing is dated 1963, so this might have been before the MacKay was being planned.
It really bothers me that the planned path of the NW Arm Drive which would form such a vital link to the South End and downtown seems to have been abandoned - homes are now being built in its path. Not having a southern harbour bridge does not make this route unfeasible (but someone would have to stick their necks out to get it built).
