That sounds like a terrific idea to me.  Hmm.. I wonder if the structure
could be made suitable for running the SkyTrain on?  Maybe a route could
be constructed to connect Park Royal with Waterfront Station.  As a bonus,
there would still be enough room to have cyclists and pedestrians on the
bridge, since the SkyTrain guideway would probably take up between 1.5
and 2 lanes.

A car and truck crossing could be constructed later...
(I foresee flames from north shore car commuters :-)
