Photos from a weekend in St. Johns, where I served as a volunteer for the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT), taking bicycle and pedestrian counts. As duty stations go, this was one of the most enjoyable and scenic.

Sunday we walked 5km roundtrip along the Esquimalt & Nanaimo Rail Trail from Hallowell Road northwest to Helmcken Road. The plan was to walk northbound along the trail to see how work is progressing at Dunsmuir's Cut at the Four Mile railway bridge.
Work is proceeding at an exponential rate since we were there two-weeks ago. What a fine job of engineering and workmanship the contractor is producing in the course of completing this 10-mile (16km) long, multi-use trail beside the E&N railway tracks.
It was another beautiful, spring-like day in Victoria at a sunny, 11°C (52°F). We topped our outing off with lunch at the Four-Mile Pub (with pictures-to-prove-it).

SPERRY 36-INCH NAVY SEARCHLIGHT SERIAL NUMBER 1529
The largest of three standard searchlight sizes used on U.S. Naval ships during World War II.
Since the late 19th century searchlights have been an important multiuse tool for naval crews. They have been used to detect enemy ships, assist landing parties, aid search and rescue, as signaling devices, and to dazzle, or confuse, attacking enemies. Indeed, one of the earliest naval applications of searchlights occurred in 1882 when the Royal Navy used searchlights to dazzle Egyptian gun crews defending Alexandria.
During the Russo-Japanese War, World War I, and World War II searchlights were used to detect, track, and engage enemy ships during nighttime naval battles. In particular, the Japanese Navy developed tactics and training that proved quite effective during nighttime naval engagements early in World War II.
As the war progressed radar emerged as a far more effective way to locate and track enemy ships with the added benefit of not giving a vessel's location away. However, searchlights still proved highly versatile with novel uses being implemented during the Battles of Midway and the Philippine Sea where searchlights were used as nighttime beacons to guide aircrews back to their aircraft carriers. Due to their varied utility, the Navy still installs searchlights on most modern vessels.
The 36-inch searchlight displayed here is a standard navy type, utilizing a carbon arc lamp and a parabolic mirror. Carbon arc lamps work by creating an electric arc between two carbon rods, or electrodes. This arc creates an intense, steady, and highly luminous light which is focused and projected into a narrow beam by the backing parabolic mirror. The diameter of this beam is controlled by an iris shutter. Large searchlights, such as this 36-inch light, could be controlled manually or remotely, and were predominantly used for nighttime combat. They did not have shutters for signaling. Signaling was conducted by smaller 12- and 24-inch general-purpose searchlights.
Technical Specifications
Light: carbon arc light, 400,000,000 candle power
Traverse: 360 degrees
Elevation: -40 to 120 degrees

No Europeans are known to have set foot in the crater until 1892, when it was visited by Dr. Oscar Baumann. Two German brothers farmed in the crater until the outbreak of World War I, after leasing the land from the administration of German East Africa. Dr. Baumann shot three rhinos while camped in the crater, and the German brothers regularly organized shooting parties to entertain their German friends. They also attempted to drive the wildebeest herds out of the crater.

The Route Verte (in English, the "Green Route," or the "Greenway") is a network of bicycling and multiuse trails and designated roads, lanes, and surfaces, spanning 4036 kilometres (approximately 2508 miles) as of October 31, 2008, in the Canadian province of Quebec, inaugurated on August 10, 2007. The trail network includes both urban trails (for example, in and around the city of Montreal) and cycling routes into quite isolated areas in the north, as well as along both sides of the Saint Lawrence River, out to the Gaspésie region, and on the Îles de la Madeleine, linking more than 320 municipalities along the way. The Route Verte is not entirely composed of trails, as nearly 61% of the network actually consists of on-road surfaces, whether regular roads with little traffic, wide shoulders, special lanes on highways, or otherwise.

This caravan of some dozen vehicles -- many with just the driver -- were inbound to some fish hatchery within the bounds of the watershed. Presumably along Goldstream River although I am not aware of its location. Strange, inasmuch as I know everything about southern Vancouver Island trails.

OFSC Route "D" is a continuation of OFSC Route C103D, a.k.a. the Seguin Trail, which follows the route of the Ottawa, Arnprior & Parry Sound Railway (later part of the Canada Atlantic Railway) built by J.R. Booth.
These are newly installed along Central Link at Holgate. They only open away from the tracks by pulling on an individual gate and then spring closed. Note that they're installing them on both sidewalks crossing the tracks, and that it's along-side a multiuse trail. Cyclists on the trail will need to dismount to cross the tracks here, or move to the street.
Obviously they are designed to make pedestrians have to stop and look both ways to cross the tracks.
This is the first location I've seen these installed. There was a suicide here a year ago on 2009-07-27, but supposedly it was at a concrete barrier and not the sidewalk. Not that these would prevent a suicide anyhow.
