11 years ago there were no anti-suicide fences (see below).
Sadly they have become necessary since. There was one suicide from the bridge every two weeks in the first half of 2011 and five between January and August 2012. The fences were installed in late 2012. Despite this, in August 2017 a woman fell to her death from the "wrong" side of the anti-suicide fence.
As Glenn says it doesn't address the real problem it just moves it somewhere else.
