Gatineau would probably welcome it more, though, they'd have their own iconic tower as a counterpoint to the Peace Tower
I was thinking the location of the mast is logical here, since the shorter span of the cable-stayed bridge would go over Devil's Hole and eliminate the ugly messy split. I would really love to see the roadway levelled and raised about 15 feet, from the Taché/Eddy intersection all the way to the War Museum to allow for pedestrian/bike pathways to slip underneath along the shores and within the islands. I picture the new buildings could have storefronts on the bridge street level and on the island level, with some sort of atrium that has elevators and escalators in between.
