WVUFootball29 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Potential Light Show at the Falls! Thats no good either. A light show like that will attract too many cars and might overwhelm the current bridge system. We really need a new bridge up....wait a second...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 We need a signature tunnel. LOL!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in San Diego Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 But what if a tanker truck crashes and causes an explosion which creates fissures in the bedrock and harmful chemicals seep into the Niagara river? Then what? They engineer tunnels for those type of things. I'm not an explosion expert but the force of an explosion goes out the open ends of the tunnel more than up or down against the walls. There a few tunnels in Canada that go under the Welland canal, it would be easier than a bridge. As far as a tanker goes, what if it rams the side of the bridge and falls into the river? The railing on the peace bridge would barely stop a car let alone a tanker truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the Holland, Lincoln, etc. But if they can't build a bridge I guess it's a moot point. Well before Boston's Big Dig, I wanted Buffalo to cover up the Kensington Expressway to rebuild the neighborhoods and the Olmstead Parkway which the Kensington destroyed. I also thought it would be great to enclose the Niagara Thruway to restore waterfront access. It would also mean that the Niagara Thruway wouldn't have to be snowplowed anymore. But our local and regional governments aren't really capable of doing much more than collecting taxes and hiring relatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVUFootball29 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Maybe they should do a bridge tunnel like they have in the Chesapeake. Then we'd have the best of both worlds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
