proposal-for-full-bay-bridge-bike-path-gains-steam-but-needs-cash

https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/14316213082_d1817c3db9_o-e1462828748545.jpg

It's long been a dream for pedestrians and cyclists. But unless you've got wheels, making a trip across the Bay Bridge remains an impossibility.

When the bridge's new east span opened in 2013, the 15-foot-wide shared-use path that debuted with it was essentially a "bridge to nowhere." Later in 2016, the path was extended as far as Yerba Buena Island. But there still isn't a clear way to bike or walk into San Francisco from the East Bay.

Now, the Bay Area Toll Authority (BATA), along with Caltrans and a team of engineers, have come up with a preliminary design plan to extend the path all the way into the city, via Yerba Buena Island and across the west span of the bridge into downtown San Francisco.

On Monday, November 19, locals can check out the preferred design at a public presentation at the Bay Area Metro Center (375 Beale St.). In addition to a question-and-answer session, the presentation will include a virtual reality experience where you can "stand" on the proposed path.

Montreal can always do more, simply because its not trapped under a Vancouver like mentality.

"Over the last 40 years, population growth meant additional traffic along I-75 in Lee County—one of Florida’s main north-south thoroughfares. To address the traffic increase, the Florida Department of Transportation is widening 33 miles of I-75 from four to eight lanes. The goal? Enhance mobility for people, commerce, and industry."
https://www.stantec.com/en/projects/united-states-projects/i/i-75-caloosahatchee-river-bridge-widening

Early analysis determined that there was some reserve capacity for additional weight on the existing piers and foundations, indicating that pier cap extensions were a feasible approach for supporting a widened bridge deck. A more conventional pier widening scheme would require construction from the foundation level up.

"A proposed redevelopment project in Portland would reshape that city’s skyline, with plans that include, among other things, towering skyscrapers connected by a glass-enclosed botanical bridge that would be 680 feet in the air and span a distance of 236 feet.
Of the two tallest central towers, one would exceed 970 vertical feet..."

Portland hasn't been allowed to grow as tall as Seattle, SF & LA.
