Just a few pics down memory (Ghost's?) lane:

Twin Viaducts today:

Remaining Original Viaduct Ghosts from Yesteryear:

Original landing at E. Georgia & Main (today):



Original landing at E. Georgia & Main (today) with original piping conduits carried along viaduct:



Remnants of original streetcar tracks heading toward the viaduct (Streetcars never utilized original viaduct due to its shoddy construction):







And Prior St. before/after the construction of the new twin viaducts:

And that last pic is somewhat reminiscent of what removal of thru traffic can do for the liveability of a street. Seems like the proposed Malkin overpass/Malkin connection will do the same for the remainder of Prior/Venables. 1st Ave./Grandview/12th Ave. anyone?
