Dedicated bus lanes on high-volume routes would also be nice, though there is proven institutional resistance to this idea at City Hall.

The two spans of the Burlington Skyway plus the Lift Bridge work out to around 4,800 meters total, so using the Edmonton yardstick approx $18m)$3 million for LED treatment on Edmonton's 777m High Level Bridge, crowdfunded through http://www.lightthebridge.ca.

Harbour Fountain: $1M
