Colville and Admirals

How does one begin ... at the start. At one time their were no lights at the intersection of Colville and Admirals. If you wanted to go, you went. Now there seem to be lights everywhere. The intersection was completed in Winter of 2009 or so. In fact, the pavement was torn up when the Olympic torch runners came through the base and into the intersection before heading west along Admirals.

Heading into Esquimalt.
Colville on the left, the Graving Dock on the right.

So, there's a left turn light onto Colville while Naden is completely blocked. Off in the distance is a new blue building being constructed where the Navy's hotel turned abandoned lot used to be.

Looking west through the intersection along the E & N railway.
The cyling lanes are an easy to see green.

There's even a cycling lane that hugs the curb for the length of the intersection before disappearing as quickly as it appeared.

Heading west along Admirals, it's decision time!

Heading west along Admirals you've got to keep to the right to make sure you avoid the left turn into the docks and base.
