Can someone please clarify which of the five bridges (http://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2011/pw/bgrd/backgroundfile-42137.pdf) was approved? Speaking as a trained structural engineer, it is high holy hogwash to call most of these “similarly shaped” and some of them are downright craptastic. The loss of the original remains a shame, but I guess at this point everyone is resigned to some sort of bridge is better than no bridge at all. Typical Toronto.
