"While it is a major milestone, getting the temporary barriers approved, we must not lose sight of the fact that our job (collaboratively) is not done yet. This location will always hold an attraction to many with thoughts of suicide. Why? Because the bridge is majestic and alluring and not everybody will seek the help they need.. so restricting access to this lethal method, will, I feel, always be necessary."
