Even if something changes, it is unclear that trying to reuse a century old bridge would be cheaper than building a new one nearby.

I agree. To those who think otherwise, what do transport desire lines indicate?
Transferring thousands at Bayview towards downtown will eventually overwhelm the C-Line. Expanding on single track service with low frequencies is a poor substitute for other ideas.
