I just wanted to point out that what is now the Cathedral Park Neighborhood was part of the incorporated area of the City of St. Johns before Portland annexed it. The Cathedral Park Neighborhood was carved out of the St. Johns neighborhood much later, in the 1970's I believe, during the period that the St. Johns neighborhood was run down and the landfill of the same name was in operation (now part of Smith and Bybee Lake park). As far as sources, I am going by the Sanborn Fire Insurance Map of St. Johns, Oregon, which is available on line through the Multnomah County Library.
 
Anyhow, that might be a worthwhile addition to the article to explain the common history of the Cathedral Park and St. Johns Neighborhoods by way of the Bridge name.
 
Or I could do it, but I don't want to step on toes changing the article without advanced discussion.
 
BTW, I lived at the corner of N. Seneca and N. Trumble for 5 years and patronized Duffy's (now the McM's St. Johns Pub) many years before that.
