	Transit Project \| Don River Bridge \| Portland Cement Association (PCA)
		Owned by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) and designed by the consulting engineering company of McCormick Rankin Corporation (MRC), the Don River Bridge is certainly an innovative application of concrete technology.
		In order to avoid the intersection and bridge abutments at the river crossing, the horizontal alignment of the underground subway was offset approximately 130 feet, compelling the designers to create a unique, above-grade bridge to span the Don River.
		The resulting concrete structure typically has 10 feet of freeboard, but severe regional storms raise the river to levels surpassing the top of the bridge, which places huge hydraulic forces on the structure—stream flows of up to 18 fps.

		the don is as good as one can imagine for riding in a large city...the main problem with the don right now is riders going both directions, a loop could easily be made and save several collarbones and wrecked rims.
		the don is an amazing trail if you don't mind the litter, the CCM madmen without the helmets, the kids, the teens getting laid, and the traffic in there between 3-7 on any given warm day...
		The best single-track spots are between the River and the railroad tracks; these were blocked off by fences a couple of years ago, but you can probably find a way in if you're determined.

		Four cases were selected for closer scrutiny: air pollution policies in Los Angeles, soil pollution policies in Toronto as well as policies of land use and regulation around the Los Angeles River and the Don River in Toronto.
		The river and its vegetation and wildlife have endured channelization, straightening, high levels of sewage and solid waste pollution, fires, flooding, sedimentation, and dramatic changes in land-uses to its drainage area.
		Again, the Don River on the one hand and the air pollution case on the other define the two poles of difference in this respect, with documents pertaining to the Toronto river being most open to public discussion and the post-1991 air pollution plans in Los Angeles being reduced to mouthpieces of major industrial interests.
