MyspaceThe draft supplemental Environmental Impact Report for the suicide barrier project on the Cold Spring Canyon Bridge is now available.
The public can view the document here or at the Solvang, Montecito, Goleta, or Santa Barbara branch libraries, or the Caltrans District 5 office in San Luis Obispo.
The public can send their comments to Caltrans’s Matt Fowler, at 50 Higuera Street, San Luis Obispo, or via email at matt_fowler@dot.ca.gov. There will also be a public meeting on January 5 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. in the cafeteria of San Marcos High School during which Caltrans will accept comments.
In July, a superior court judge ordered that Caltrans vacate approval of the controversial project — designed to keep people from jumping from the popular suicide spot — decertify the final EIR, and recirculate a revised draft EIR for public comment.

This is HILARIOUS... This would ONLY WORK IF there was ONE high bridge or place to jump off of. There is numerous ledges to jump from in this area. At least with them jumping from this one , people find their cars so we DONT HAVE unfilled missing persons reports.
How about putting a diving board AND a Suicide PREVENTION PHONE THERE!
Simple, either jump or call. Why push people to REMOTE suicide zones where we never recover the body so the family doesnt know what happened etc etc.

Park the car, walk 40 yards, and jump. It's way too easy.
Sometimes suicide is a passing impulse. If you make it a little harder to do, you might deter someone and they may seek help.
What if it was your son or daughter, upset over a breakup or depressed about some difficult period in their life? Would you want suicide to be convenient for them? Is it still hilarious?

Jonny, your bong called. It's empty again.

Even better, park your car next to the new barrier, climb on top, and jump over. We've spent $4 million to add 10 feet to the free fall.
