  1. Does this green bridge still exist? Can people visit it? [ http://www.district.north-van.bc.ca/ecology/see_do/see_do.html ]

  2. The bridge certainly did exist but is unlikely to have survived (the drawing dates from the 1840s). But there is no reason whatsoever why it should not be re-created as a garden design idea.
