Yes, Beep...Obviously the solution. This could prevent more suicides and other destructive (self- and other-) crimes than the barrier would.
Whether or not the barrier is buit, something must be done to address the root cause.

I hope that web admin will follow up on this issue of one person posting comments under different names, pretending to be several people. It degrades this forum, which I find to be of great value. Let us keep the comments relevant and keep the convesations intelligent. I like to read about what people are thinking. I do not want to hear one person ranting, and dominating the conversation by taking over the comment forum!

Or on the wrong side of an intoxicated driver's vehicle. Both stories are newsworthy and scary - unfortunately, both are probably just the tip of the iceberg. Our social strucures seem to be ripping apart at the seams as people are under increasing stress, and it is becoming more and more difficult to handle the craziness that is our world today.

So true! Steve and his crew are knowledgeable, helpful, and very pleasant to do business with - Tony Rose Camera is another casualty of the ridiculous real estate situation here in Santa Barbara which is shutting down local businesses left and right. More and more corporate stores are moving into the area because they are the only ones who can afford to pay the inflated rents. It is sad to see our local culture slowly erode.

At least we'll have one last Fiesta to celebrate at the one and only place that did not add a cover charge to capitalize on the Fies-ivities...and definitely the coolest, most local - friendly place to end up parade night.

Once again, illuminating and clear coverage by Ben Preston - keep up the good work! And thanks to those who "looked out the window" taking to the streets to get the latest info and taking the time to post it here - kudos to the Independent for providing this forum.

Judging by the variety of comments and issues with the front country trails, policies need to be analyzed and there does need to be a management plan. Years ago, it was common for myself and others to set out on horseback up Tunnel trail, Jesusita trail, and Rattlesnake trail. Nowadays, anyone knows that one would be exposing themselves and their animals to possible injury due to the presence of mountain bike riders on these trails (I do enjoy mountain biking during the week days on front country trails - how about having 3 or 4 days per week ok for bikes on some trails)....Anyway, I have a much bigger issue with the sight and pervasive smell of dog waste that litters these trails. I think that there should be laws about animal waste disposal, the trails should be policed, and dog walkers who do not dispose of the waste properly should be cited and fined.

Please do not turn the SBBG into SB's version of DISNEYLAND! Please adhere to the spirit of the original plan. I was raised and my family continues to live in Mission Canyon, on the border of the SBBG. I have watched the Santa Barbara AND California native plants gradually dwindle and succumb to the presence of non-natives, cultivars and commercial lawn-grasses under the "care" of the current administration. It would make better sense for native and/or long - time local Santa Barbarans and persons with actual advanced degrees in botany from California universities to be in control of the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden. These TRANSPLANTS who are now at the helm have no clue as to the history and beauty of this unique garden, and they are slowly eroding its once - pristine character.

It is so pleasant to wake up in the morning, turn on the computer to check email, and see the herd of goats with their big white fuzzy guardian dogs just across the gully doing their job. I think this even falls with in the realm of correctness according to extreme vegans! The Mission Canyon Association should be up for some kind of green award with this project. Sweet video, too...let's see it on City TV!
