The world’s longest and highest wooden bicycle bridge, built in 1896, served as a short-cut to downtown and the prairies to the south for many who lived in the Holy Rosary Church area. Although the sign states it was the "Only Exclusive Bicycle Bridge in the World," it was also used by pedestrians, motorcyclists, and occasionally a horse rider.– South Tacoma (Arcadia Publishing)
