		<description>Man you are quick on the uptake. Me, I&#039;m still mulling over the winning proposal. What I like best about it is all the little &quot;docks&quot; that poke into the lake, and with that the rejection of the two main cliches about urban waterfronts: Rio de Janiero and Boston inner harbour. But I can&#039;t help but think about another fact of &quot;cottage life&quot; that the winning proposal forgot or decided to ignore: the fact that in winter all those little docks are hauled on shore or dragged around to a sheltered bay. Will that be an annual occurance on our waterfront in years to come?

I&#039;d be interested to hear your critique of the also-ran proposals. Each of them, like with the winner&#039;s goofy maple leaf floater, had really silly ideas, but it seemed to me that each of them had really strong ideas too. I particularly liked the Todd Williams/Billie Tsien approach to the gardiner: build up to it with a berm on either side so it is &quot;at grade,&quot; then reverse &quot;Lakeshore blvd&quot; and &quot;the Gardiner&quot; so the expressway is buried, without any of the hassle and horror of Boston&#039;s Big Dig (i.e. relocating centuries-old sewage tunnels).</description>
