The CN Tower footprint looks to be about 50 meters to a side. I wonder how high it would have to be to beat the height of the Baden hill towers, that are the current highest point in the Region?
Good luck funding that. They are selling the naming rights to this train station just to help get it built so I unfortunately don't see them building an observation tower although the views would be nice. Observation towers make sense in big cities but not so much in a region of our size...and even in big cities, nobody goes to them but silly tourists with money to waste. There isn't a whole lot to see either, just trees and buildings as far as the eye can see.
