History / Biographical
John Ware was a past employee of the Kitimat Town Planning Department (1957-1959). He was hired by Hollister Kent, Planning Director for Kitimat. During his two years here, Dr. ware designed the first Kitimat street signs, the Haisla Boulevard overpass, and the Hirsch Creek Park shelter centennial project (1858-1958). He was layed off when Alcan lost major Aluminum buyers and the town expansion halted, resulting in a cut back of Kirtimat employees. He then moved to the USA.

Custodial History
Donated by John Ware.
Scope and Content
Photographs of the Haisla Boulevard pedestrian walkway bridge. Photos include bridge before centre support was installed, and after.
Notes
Further info on the walkway bridge - the pedestrian overpass was designed by John Ware to carry people, heavy wet snow loads and walkway snow plow, with a large saftey factor. The central span was designed as the maximum length of concrete double 'Tee' beam that could be carried on an open flatbed railroad car through the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The pre-stressed central span was supported on each end by poured reinforced concrete cantilevers built clear of the multi-lane highway. Initial structural calculations were done out by the very capable Kitimat Town Engineer Graydon. His calculations were checked by Kitimat's consulting engineering firm in Vancouver. Ware's design and the engineer's calculations were then sent to a pre-stressed concrete manufacturer in Calgary. When the beam arrived it was properly installed between the two cantilevers, and metal handrails were added just before the winter snow arrived. The bridge was deseigned to self support without any needed centre support. However, when city officials saw the light looking long span walkway bridge they decided that it was too fragile and that a column must be placed at mid span to give it adequate support. This decision would result in a fatal vehicle accident, as wet snows caused a driver to lose control and crash into it.
