	Prince Edward Viaduct - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Prince Edward Viaduct System is the name of a bridge system in Toronto, Ontario, Canada that connects Bloor Street East, on the west side of the system, with Danforth Avenue on the east.
		The Prince Edward Viaduct system also includes the Rosedale Valley phase (a smaller bridge carrying Bloor Street over the Rosedale Ravine) and the Sherbourne Phase, an embankment built to extend Bloor Street East to the Rosedale Ravine from approximately Sherbourne Street.
		Referenda on the construction of the Prince Edward Viaduct were held in Toronto in every year from 1910 to 1913, with residents voting against its construction in 1912 by 59 votes and in favour in 1913 by 9236 votes.

	Bloor Street Viaduct (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Bloor ViaductThe 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.

	Steel Project Case Study Gallery: Luminous Veil - Prince Edward Viaduct Safety Barriers, Toronto
		The Prince Edward Viaduct stretches over one of the busiest highways in Toronto, Ontario, and had unfortunately become a frequent site for suicide occurrences.
		The Luminous Veil is predominantly a steel structure that not only functions as a deterrent, but also preserves the aesthetic appeal and historical heritage of the viaduct and surrounding area.
		Completed in the Spring of 2003, this transparent and open-concept veil is seen by thousands of commuters who cross over or pass under the viaduct landmark on a daily basis.

		Cut and cover construction was used throughout the route, with the exception of 2250 feet of tunnel between Yonge and Sherbourne stations, 1842 feet of tunnel between Lansdowne and Dundas West and the surface/elevated construction around Keele.
		Initially, the two westernmost stations were planned to be placed at Prince Edward (five blocks east of Royal York) and Montgomery (two blocks west of Royal York) instead of at Royal York and Islington as is now the case.
		Prince Edward and Montgomery Road did serve the east and west ends of the Kingsway shopping district, but it is possible that the TTC felt that a single station at Royal York (particularly one with two entrances) could serve this business district just as effectively.

		The Prince Edward Viaduct is one of the more remarkable features in Toronto because of the foresight shown by the engineers and politicians of the time (see Figure 3).
		Discussion of a viaduct over the Don Valley had begun as early as 1880, but construction did not begin until 1915, and was completed four years later.
		The remarkable thing about the Prince Edward Viaduct is not its size-it's almost a mile long-or its sweeping concrete and steel arches; it is the forwardthinking design of the structure.

		The top level of the viaduct is Bloor Street, while the lower deck is the Bloor-Danforth subway line.
		Built in 1919, the viaduct was designed by Edmund Burke, who also designed the CHUM/CITY TV building on Queen Street (just around the corner from the True North offices and where Cockburn performed the MuchMusic Intimate and Interactive special, premiering 1991's Nothing But a Burning Light).

	History & Fame of Danforth & Broadview Ave's
		In 1888 the Toronto Street Railway established a streetcar line along Broadview Ave from Queen Street East to the corner of Danforth Ave and in 1913 the Danforth line of the municipally-owned Toronto Civic Railways began service east of Broadview Ave.
		The single most important event in the Danforth's history came in 1919 with the completion of the Bloor Viaduct bridge over the Don Valley finally connecting the Danforth to the City via Bloor Street.
		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.

		Concerning the first consequence, both the Prince Edward Viaduct and Nicholas Temelcoff could be said to literally take over the 'territory in space and time' which God was thought to occupy by spanning and charting space:
