Abandoned Railway Bridge
What a waste! With 90% of the population addicted to the automobile's illusion of safety and convenience, other modes of transportation go neglected. This bridge across the Ottawa River, from central Ottawa to Hull, lies derelict. I hope there will soon be enough interest to convert it to a pedestrian bridge or rapid transit link. Similar bridges many other places – including much smaller communities such as Goderich, Ontario (part of the Maitland Trail) and Chicoutimi, Quebec – have done this with their bridges. Check out these pedestrian bridges across Canada and around the world. Let's build communities for people, not cars!
