What is this above is one of 16 designs for the bridge that would connect the rail lands from Front to Dan Leckie Way. The above design is by Andrew Alfred-Duggan (seen here). Here is some background on the proposed bridge and a recent story in the National Post about some of the problems that GO Transit and CN Rail had placed on the project.
Our friends at the BQNA reminded us that there is a contest going on right now on the 16 submissions. See below on how to vote for the designs. Over at Bridging the Design Gap site, they outline some of the guidelines, such as the cost (no more than $10-million) and that the construction can not disrupt rail operations.

I bet most children aged 5 and under will be crying to see when they see this buried-alive human-bot gasping for it's last tortured breaths from the suffocating depths of the dirt.
