Gee, I no sooner post about highway overpasses collapsing that I get this news. Hopefully the two are unrelated, though it is very ironic that early reports suggest the problem may be related to the new bicycle lane being built along De Maisonneuve. What a country! Good job by Ed Hawko of Blork Blog in getting the story on the net in a hurry!

Seems it is serious enough that the Metro (subway) may even stay closed for the weekend. Story here.

Very nice photoblog by Travis Ruse.
I live in Park Slope, Brooklyn.
I work in midtown Manhattan. (UPDATE: Up until the Spring of 2007 that is.
I’m now working at the new 7 World Trade Center building.)
42nd & Lexington Ave., to be exact, right across from Grand Central Station.
As the crow flies, that’s just 6 miles. But on the tracks, it can be three trains,
11 stops, and 45 minutes each way.
This is what I see every day commuting to and from work.
