Continuing my dive into the rabbit hole of Richmond...
Mitchell Island today is actually a combination of 3 separate islands: Mitchell, Twigg, and Eburne. Twigg and Eburne are still recognised via street names on Mitchell. This is from 1935 and you can see the original Fraser Street bridge right down the middle but even in 1929, the City of Vancouver had designated Knight street as a major arterial so the future replacement was always going to be a Knight street bridge (TIL: the deck of the Knight bridge is heated!).
