Paul Bedford and Civil Engineering

elevated highway: I think it a great piece of civil engineering; at one time it was the longest elevated highway in the world, according to The Toronto Star. And it never really been the barrier to the lake that its foes like to claim. Toronto will not, as Paul Bedford says, be a laughing stock; and besides who cares what others think This is our own city and we’ll make our own decisions.I love the Gardiner. That honour goes to the railway tracks and, more recently, the unsightly wall of ugly condos that have blighted our waterfront. The condos, on the other hand, are examples of plain old bad planning, much of it in the service of super-rich investors, Canadian and foreign, who want a place to park their probably ill-gotten wealth. The railways I accept; they’re a vital part of our infrastructure and our history. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
