^ I just don't buy it... the whole argument for replacing the Arlington Bridge seems like a case study in status quo bias.

McGregor and Sherbrook/Maryland are busier and more important N-S routes than Arlington, and yet no one complains that there isn't a bridge connecting the two. Yet somehow we're expected to believe that a minor, lightly travelled local street like Arlington is an essential link and requires a new bridge over the CP yards? No way. I've driven that bridge at all times of day including rush hour, and it's seldom ever busy. Bridge shutdowns haven't had a major effect on traffic on other streets in the area. I'm convinced that it if were closed tomorrow hardly anyone would be disrupted.
