It boggles my mind how many times these idiotic ideas come up and get traction!

Discussion about the path down the centre of the Granville Bridge dates back several years on the
Vancouver House thread. When I first saw it then I immediately thought no, I do not want to walk down the centre of the bridge with traffic on both sides.
I would encourage anyone who can to take a walk on the bridge to get a sense of what it's like. Every time I walk on the Howe Street ramp to get pics of the Vancouver House site I continue up to the centre of the bridge to get pics. It's great to be able to look down from the side of the bridge to the water and the boats. You wouldn't have that part of the view at all from the centre of the bridge.
