Message: [QUOTE="All4SU, post: 888043, member: 381"] But in a perfect world, a smart, intuitive world, you would build your infrastructure based on the planned growth and success of a region, and not on current patterns. I remember visiting Toronto decades ago, and we were looking at a bridge that spanned a gorge-like area. The bridge was very old, but looked in great shape. The "local" we were visiting pointed out that on the underneath side of the bridge, the train tracks ran beneath the road. There was no train running there then. He said the architect anticipated that someday they would want to run the train under that bridge. So that's the way it was designed and built. Not earth-shattering smart. But forward-looking. We need more of that these days. [/QUOTE]
