While advocates from various anti-suicide groups lobby for such a barrier, NIMBY’s preservationists’ tireless battle to ensure the “architectural integrity” of the bridge (which holds a place on National Register of Historic Places) has thus far impeded any progress on that front. The proposed barriers— five designs are floating about at the moment— rise no higher than 12 feet, and two incorporate netting systems engineered to catch falling jumpers. (To ... Read Full Story
