Cable car from Broadview station to Brick Works?

This idea comes from the maker of a cable system, not the City planner. It’s the kind of thing that sounds like fun but in the end can’t sustain itself. It’s only ten years since the Toronto to Rochester hydrofoil fiasco.  It was a cute idea but nobody bothered to ride it. Now the Brick Works is a kind of  favorite child of City Council. That’s why there’s a weekend bus, that runs mostly empty, from Davisville Station down Bayview to the bricks. That’s why there will no doubt be suggestions the City pay for a cable car. And yet, the poll being run at the 680 News site suggests that there is a sober-minded 45.5% of people who see through this scheme.
