Spanning Time

Located at the southwest corner of West Georgia and Howe streets.

The Lion’s Gate Bridge at the mouth of the Burrard Inlet has long been a Vancouver icon, and has often been likened to San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge. This mosaic tile is stylized to represent the view from Prospect Point in the 1950’s. A couple in the foreground sits serenely watching the scene. The historic Princess Marguerite II passes below the welcoming span which once required tolls to pass. Today, the bridge remains as impressive as ever, a beautiful architectural landmark that remains in the minds of visitors long after they’ve left Vancouver.
