I drove the Viaduct today
And as I sailed along its way
I had to ask for old time’s sake
Is her demise a big mistake?

Like what’s the sense of taking out
Such an important north south route?
Is linking waterfront and town
Worth what we’ll pay to bring her down?

Is ignorance or greed to blame
For how our leaders trash her name?
Are they now standing up for you
Or for the side that wants her view?

Has scaring folks about a quake
Been done for tunnel vision’s sake?
How safe are we in some damp hole
Where no way out could play a role?

And lastly, why did they ignore
The low cost option to restore
Then skew the ballot so you’d vote
Their way, no matter what you wrote?
