We are actually having the same issue with one of our local bridges ( the link has a picture of it). Depressed kids jump off, so they want a suicide barrier put up. One of the most beautiful views I've seen ( 730 feet high! its the tallest in CA. it's the bridge in the opening of XXX.), and they want to block it off with a suicide barrier.

I agree that they will find another way to kill themselves. It sucks to ruin it for the millions who cross it for the few who jump.
