I still think it's the worst idea that has come up in this city in quite a while. If you want a huge expense that'll encourage more sprawl this is the way to do it.... but I guess we've been over this argument a couple of times now. Just because we can do something doesn't mean we should or that it's the best option. I also don't find it the least bit surprising that a report prepared for the bridge commission (a body's whose entire reason to exist is to drive cars and trucks and, sometimes, buses across the harbour) comes out in favour of another bridge and virtually ignores water-based transit. I hope, if this does start to move, that someone does an independent analysis. In any case, that poll seems to indicate that my earlier hunch that a 3rd bridge, if it proceeds, will spark the biggest political fight this city has seen in a long-time is correct. You can't be more polarized than 50/50.
