Johnson Street Bridge Update

Here's what the bottom of Esquimalt Road looks like now. The new blacktop (that curvy bit in roughly the centre of the photo) looks like it will serve as the on-ramp to the old blue bridge. There used to be a bit of a hill there that is now a gentle rise. The new bridge is being constructed out of sight to the left of the old bridge and when completed this new bit of road will just be straightened out to lead onto the new bridge. It looks good and definitely clears up a lot of the bad sight-lines that have been traditional at that intersection where it curves around under the railroad overpass. As for the new bridge itself - it appears that due to some engineering problem it has been postponed once again for another six months - now scheduled for completion a few years from now.

Found Art

Walking home from town we came upon this crazy, cool little art project of someone's and were very impressed. This is part of a long brick wall that runs along Esquimalt Road and is very unappealing so this little square is pure magic really. Hat's off to whomever is the artist! - Fern
