The Evening Standard is reporting that the Mayor is looking into reviving
plans for a residential/commercial bridge, albeit locating around Silvertown
and Greenwich. It is hoped to be financed by selling the locations on it.

I saw this in thelondonpaper. Mostly i was furious about how all the years
i've been suggesting this, i've been ignored, but as soon as that blonde
imbecile comes out with the same idea, the press is all over him - just
because he's mayor! So unfair. The best bit in the article i read was
where Boris was quoted as saying it would be "somewhere in central London"
- yes, Boris, given that that's where the river is, not a huge revelation.

But then i started wondering about building this across the Lea, say in
Tottenham. It wouldn't be very long, but big enough for a kebab shop and a
garage.

80 million seems very cheap for a bridge.
