If I remember right these bridges were designed with suicide prevention barricades but the bridges went over budget so they cut them. The city has been making excuses ever since about coughing up the money to add them back.. You can ask almost anyone who has ever attempted suicide by jumping from a great height, it is almost always an impulsive decision fueled by emotional trauma and their first thought after jumping is regret. Anything that would slow this down even for a few seconds would save some lives. It is way past time that we insist the city put up these barricades.
