looking at google maps, there appears to be a gap in the buildings between 1st and 2nd, which could accommodate a train passing through it, to allow for plan "B", AND the vast majority of Princes Island Park, to be maintained - even the wetlands. If the train passes to the East of the apartments that is east of 2nd and Eau Claire, then angles across two parking lots to 2nd ave, it is possible to build a bridge that doesn't even need to have a pillar on Princes Island, and can pass between Princes Island and Center Street.
