The Board of Directors of the Golden Gate Bridge has voted to add a suicide net below the bridge deck. The addition of some sort of suicide barrier has been discussed for many years, but the directors had been reluctant for various reasons. About 500 people gathered at Crissy Field on September 27th to remember those who have jumped off the bridge to their deaths, a number officially at 1,300 but likely higher. Financing for the $40 million to $50 million it will take to add the metal netting and an environmental study to ensure bird safety now needs to be lined up.
