When we wrote about the proposed "suicide prevention fence" for the Aurora Bridge back in July, several of you had a lot to say about it. If you still feel as strongly about the proposed multi-million dollar jumper barrier, head down to Seattle Pacific University's Otto Miller Hall tonight and attend a public meeting from 6 to 8 p.m. to discuss the fence.

The Aurora Bridge has a long tragic history of being the final structure some hopeless Seattleites ever stand upon. Since its opening in 1932, more than 200 people have jumped to their death from the bridge. It is second only to the Golden Gate Bridge in suicide deaths. Now it would seem those who live around the bridge, and the state of Washington, have decided to do something about that.
