it is, but they are cut at the same time, and as a result you do not radius the leading edge of the side port, you leave it alone, so that when you cut the bridge section the underlying metal will be thick enough for the bridge.
if you cut jsut a street port, then you would(should) radius the edge of the port there to make it flow better.
so in a nutshell if its already been street ported, the chances are that the edge has been radiused and theirfore is thinner and will crack easier making for a very short lived bridge port (housing wise not seal wise)
if you are truly building this just for racing then after you cut the bridge port you would go back and with a sanding roll massage the leading edge to put small radius to help flow, but this is where the difference between experience (shop) and ametuear begins, the shop will know how much they can safely take of for a race, or a street engine.....

video? WTF is that?
I ain't never watched no videos concerning building a rotary, i just followed manuals and tempted fate many, many times 
I bought the rotary aviation video on rebuilds 2 years ago as a present for my friend to study prior to helping him rebuild his FD, but I never watched it myself. I am sure it would have been handy when i was younger, as the chiltons I used as a kid was not very well illustrated, I am a visual guy.
