The suicide fence would be a great idea if we were all cattle.

Anyone who is determined to kill themself easily can, so maybe the suicides won't be as visible but they aren't going to go away.

Not happy about the suicide prevention bridge going up. Especially to the tune of 8.1 million dollars. I hope this project gets a public vote before the go ahead.
