Suicide Barrier Seems to Be Going Nowhere without Funding from the Bridge District

Read the latest on the prospects for a suicide barrier. They are not good. This is not surprising, but discouraging nevertheless. I hope that the coalition that has been fighting for it over the last few years--and making real progress--re-orients its efforts to pressure the bridge district to actually put up the cash for the project. In good times or bad, that's the best bet for success, in my opinion. In bad times especially--when the reliability of toll revenue diminishes but nevertheless remains much more stable than most other potential sources of funding.
