Yeah I had the same reaction also as someone from Toronto. Well, from NFLD. Living here for the past like… 8-9 years. Do I count as a Torontonian? Anyway.
If you find that point at where the bridge is and then follow it in a straight line you end up in some random fucking nowheresville town in New York state. Then that point as to where the bridge is isn’t exactly known for light traffic or to even remotely have the infrastructure to support it. Gonna overload downtown with more traffic than already exists for a bridge just to dump Canadians in the middle of nowhere.
Yeah, I was thinking it could be going down the coast as an expressway or something, that would be the most likely scenario. Alternatively, it could be a dedicated cargo route. It doesn’t make sense to be in the downtown core though if that’s the case.
If it was an expressway, I would definitely drive on a Lakeshore highway that effectively doubles the Lakeshore GO line in terms of being a rapid transit corridor and maybe a more effective and less congested way of getting into the city.
I think it would be cool if it was a cargo route though, because then the parallel to the middle of nowhere NY could be that the middle of nowhere becomes a huge trade hub and nexus for cross-border trade.
Too bad that bridge doesn’t fucking exist…
Why’d they have to do that
Where was that bridge even supposed to be going?
I’m trying to think of a use case that would involve needing to build a bridge that spans over an entire Great Lake.
Such a weird concept to me as a Torontonian.
