(But that is a different situation, with that street sitting above the region's second busiest transit line,)

I have no doubt the cycling lobbyists would demand a bike flyover bridge across the Arm since the uphill stretch of Quinpool from Horseshoe Island would be deemed by the EAC and HCC to be far too steep for cyclists to tolerate.
