Put a Green Lid on It

Not a totally original idea (see Portlander Bill Badrick and his visions of vegetated bridges here and here) but a more fully realized vision from Toronto, spotted via Urban Greenery. The idea is from Architect Les Klein from Quadrangle Architects via the Toronto Star: "His idea, dubbed the Green Ribbon, calls for the addition of a new level about 8 metres above the highway's elevated section from Dufferin St. to the Don Valley Parkway. Columns would be added to the side to anchor a new level, which would become a linear park stretching for 7 kilometres."
