In a 2009 blog post
entitled, ‘Don’t replace our bridge!’ I mentioned how fond we were of the 85-year-old bottleneck between us and
downtown Victoria. In fact, I was simply following some blogging advice about ways
to get people’s attention when I decided on that title for the post. Unlike many
Victorians, I wasn’t that upset that the old bridge was going to be replaced.
And I think the new one – the largest single-leaf bascule bridge in
Canada and one of the largest in the world – is beautiful.
