Photos of the last standing bridge illustrated in the preview to the Opening Day highlighting the Accent on Environment. The bridges spanned both sides of the Green Brook to the small island, which is accessible by foot when the water is low from Brook Ave, because the Dams have been removed but you can still see their foundations. Another bridge spanned from the Cul De Sac over the Green Brook and was going to be a feature of the neighborhood as that leads directly to the Solarium/Greenhouse and Swimming Pool which existed until about 1972 but you can see it's filled in foot-print.
