The Billy Bishop Airport

My friend Marcia and I rode the Bathurst streetcar to Fleet Street, so that we could visit the NEW pedestrian tunnel to the Billy Bishop Airport.

Apparently, the 800 foot tunnel cost 82.5 million dollars to build. 

So here is the entrance to the tunnel that takes you under the Western Gap.

There are four moving sidewalks.....

And two sets of four huge escalators to take folks to and from the airport.

Once we arrived at the top of this, the last escalator, we were treated to a virtual mini museum of Billy's history.

Once we covered everything there was to see, we decided to do the return trip on the ferry.

This is us on the deck of the Marilyn Bell1, which was actually christened by Marilyn Bell herself in January 2010.

Marilyn looks like she is having a great time dumping Champagne on the ferry.
