It’s a little over one mile long. Two hundred feet beneath it are the First Narrows, where the Burrard Inlet meets English Bay. The design is similar to that of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and it is likewise considered to be beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn good weather, the traffic cameras on the north end of the bridge, pointing south, would show the whole sweep of its three-lane highway, as well as the pedestrian and cycle paths attached either side of it. But it was raining on the night in question, as you’d expect in Vancouver. In the CCTV footage which the cops showed to Michael, the raindrops are shooting stars, streaking white across the lenses of the cameras, burning up in the lights from the bridge. The yellow bulbs along the parapet, and the blue globes on the cables, grow dimmer with distance, then fade from view a hundred yards from the shore, swallowed by the fog and rain that are rolling into Burrard Inlet. The port and the city are lost in this fog. Two hundred feet under the bridge, the tide would, at the time in question, have been ebbing through the First Narrows at almost four knots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe southern end of Lions Gate Bridge is located in the heights of Stanley Park, a patch of coastal rainforest preserved from the encroaching city. Here, two large stone lions guard the entrance to the bridge, where the approach road curves north through the fir trees and cedars. At 3.11 a.m., a traffic camera at this end of the bridge sees a figure in a red hooded jacket emerging from a path in the forest, pushing a bicycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA car passes, and, when it has gone, the figure crosses the road to access the path on the seaward side of the bridge. As the figure passes the camera, the wind blows back its hood. The image is clear enough, despite the poor light and low resolution. At 3.13 a.m., Lydia Alice Field walked on to the Lions Gate Bridge and vanished in the rain and fog. Michael, watching the footage with the two constables, was able to confirm her identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe did not reappear to any of the other cameras which cover both ends of the bridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 5.19 a.m., a police dispatcher received a call from a jogger who had found an unlocked bicycle propped against the parapet, three hundred metres out from Stanley Park. Wanting to be helpful, the jogger added that he had looked over the parapet into the Narrows, two hundred feet below, but could see no sign of anyone in the water. By then she was miles away. Strait of Georgia, Salish Sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere were interviews, formalities. When they were done, the police thanked Michael for his cooperation and told him they were sorry. They dropped him back to the empty house as the sun was going down. The constables waited at the kerb to make sure he was OK.
