		The Bloor Street viaduct is perhaps too literally a theatre for the students of Rosedale Heights Secondary School.
		Street worker Krin Zook tells me that the bodies often land on the school's playing field, and kids have run down before the authorities arrive because they think it's going to be cool to see a dead person, but they come back, she says, "shocked and traumatized."
		Notwithstanding the continual olfactory dangers to the women and children of the city, proposals for a viaduct were defeated in the municipal elections of 1910, 1911 and 1912 (Rosedale voters tipping the balance against it in the 1912 vote).

	Bloor Street Viaduct
		Bloor Street Viaduct, or simply the Viaduct, is the popular name of a bridge that spans the Don River Valley in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, crossing over the Don Valley Parkway and Bayview Avenue as well as the river.
		The official name of the bridge is the Prince Edward Viaduct; in still more precise usage, this term also includes a smaller bridge carrying Bloor Street over the Rosedale Ravine, and the embankment built at the same time to connect the two.
		In consequence, the Bloor Street Viaduct has lost its ranking as the second largest suicide magnet to the Jacques Cartier Bridge in Montreal, Quebec.

		The Bloor Street Viaduct, or simply the Viaduct, is the popular name of a bridge that spans the Don River Valley in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, crossing over (from east to west) the Don Valley Parkway, the Don River and Bayview Avenue Extension.
		It connects Bloor Street East, on the west side of the valley, with Danforth Avenue on the east.
		The Prince Edward Viaduct is a structurally symmetric bridge, an aspect to art that is appreciated by people, and also shows a great deal of contrast, as the fl/gunmetal arches complement the beige concrete piers in a manner to expose their intricacies.

	Transit Toronto - Content: A History of Subways on Bloor and Queen Streets
		Automobile traffic on Bloor Street and Danforth Avenue was increasing as well, pushing the multiple-unit PCCs to their limits, just as Yonge’s Witt trailer trains had been when the decision had been made to build the first subway beneath them.
		The Bloor subway passes beneath the Yonge line, at the north end of Bloor station, and a new Yonge station was built to connect with it.
		Bloor Street’s bridge over the Rosedale Ravine, which is also part of the Viaduct, was also built with provision for a lower deck but this was unsuitable for the subway’s alignment.

	Viaduct - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Toronto's Bloor Street Viaduct bridges the Don valley; road traffic uses the upper deck, rail traffic uses the lower deck.
		A viaduct is a bridge that connects points of equal height in a landscape, usually by bridging a river valley or other eroded opening in an otherwise flat area.
		Often such valleys have roads descending either side (with a small bridge over the river, where necessary) that become inadequate for the traffic load, necessitating a viaduct for through traffic.

		Initially the Bridge was called the Bloor Street Viaduct but on September 11, 1919 Toronto's City Council unanimously agreed to rename it the Prince Edward Viaduct to honour Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII) who had received an enthusiastic welcome a few weeks before in his first visit to Toronto.
		By 1912 the property was sub-divided, streets were opened up and substantial houses were built on what is still known as the Playter Estates.

		Deciding whether to publish information about a suicide should be left to newspapers, which have generally shown they are responsible and sensitive in dealing with this subject, the Ontario Press Council said in a press release.
		The Council was commenting on a recommendation by an inquest jury that examined the suicide of a student who jumped from the Bloor Street viaduct in Toronto Dec. 11, 1997.
		Explaining its reasoning, the jury said It has been shown that reporting suicides and locations of suicides acts as a magnet to perpetuate the act and the location becomes known as a death magnet.

		Nickel magazine, October, 2003 -- A new stainless steel barrier will prevent further suicides at the Bloor Street Viaduct in Toronto, Ontario where the number of people jumping to their deaths once rivaled the suicide rate for the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California.
		The barrier consists of some 9,000 vertical rods designed to create a "luminous veil" around the 84-year-old viaduct, whose original construction was described in Michael Ondaatje's award-winning novel In the Skin of a Lion.
		Since the Bloor Street Viaduct was built in 1919, more than 400 people have jumped from the bridge to their deaths.
