Contradicting yesterday's reports, the federal government is denying it has plans to scrap the Champlain bridge and replace it with a ten-lane superbridge. Authorities also maintain that the existing bridge is safe, and not a collapsing wreck as was implied yesterday. I suspect this was a deliberate canard to distract anyone commenting on Car-Free Day, which as usual successfully cut pollutants to nearly zero in its tiny corner of downtown.
