Albert E. Todd served as mayor of Victoria, BC Canada from 1917 to 1919. He was seen as a visionary whose impact was felt both during his term and after.
One of the first licensed drivers in the city, he was keen on promoting the city as a tourist destination and making it easier to get around town.
During his time in office he envisioned a crossing over the harbour to the west side (which later became the Johnson Street bridge), saw through the installation of the now iconic cluster of street lights around the downtown area and promoted the Malahat Drive.
