Also, this shot shows just how much of a mistake it was to build the skybridge across Rideau.
It's not quite like an elevated freeway, but it really cleaves Rideau street - which looks to have been very metropolitan and vibrant all the way through - into the showpiece avenue near the Chateau Laurier/War Memorial versus the stretch where burnouts spit on the sidewalk and wait for the bus.

Agreed. When part of the road was converted into a bus mall(as part of the Rideau Centre development), it almost killed that section of the street.
So, I've heard folks say that the 1.2 mills had better skylines when they were in the 750-800k range than the current trio and was wondering if we could get a comparison of all of Canada's cities over a million when they were in that range. For Montreal that would be some time in the 1920s, the 30s for Toronto, ~1960 for Vancouver, and I think the 90s for the last three?
