Form ever follows function. Louis Sullivan, 1898

The Johnson Street Bridge has for 86 years been an excellent example of form stripped down to pure function. Opened in January of 1924, it was designed to do what was needed, with one span to carry the Esquimalt & Nanaimo rail line, and another to move the ever-increasing number of cars between downtown Victoria and points west. It is also raised and lowered approximately 1000 times per year to let marine traffic pass through the narrow channel underneath.

A message from Jawn Lafratta, past GVCC Board member:

Greetings fellow cyclists and cycling supporters,

I think it is high time that cyclists on Vancouver Island had an easy option of transporting their bikes up and down the Island without having to rely on a car and with undue inconvenience and cost. I have heard that this has been a goal for many people and organizations for a number of years, but so far nothing has come of it. Perhaps with the combined support of many cycling organizations on Vancouver Island and BC we can make this happen.
