On today's Mainstreet on CBC, they were discussing the stalled Washmill Underpass project near Empire Cinemas in Bayers Lake and presented a tongue-in-cheek "modest proposal," complete with an interview with Roly Hudson from Dal Architecture on its feasibility:
At the end, they opened it up to all listeners to send an image of their own proposal. Coming on the heels of my "re-imagining the Suburbs" talk at Pecha Kucha, I couldn't resist, and submitted this image of an open air cinema / live music venue. It's accessible via bus, the existing bike trail network and is adjacent to a sea of parking. It could become a performance plaza in the summer.

I like that throughout the film, one could imagine a truck barreling through the underpass, tearing thru the screen, sending patrons scattering. It would make for a very compelling showing of Terminator 3 or Duel.
@Anonymous-love the "Duel" reference. It's one of my favourites and actually suggests a really great theme for a summer film series...
