From The New York Times:
Bay Area moves ahead with plans for suicide net
SAN FRANCISCO — For 73 years, people have poured onto the picturesque Golden Gate Bridge to... jump to their deaths — an act transportation officials moved to stop Wednesday by authorizing money for a suicide barrier.
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission, which oversees transportation financing in the Bay Area, approved $5 million in federal money for the final engineering and design of a steel-mesh net to hang 20 feet below the span and catch would-be jumpers. Officials estimate the net system will cost an additional $45 million to build and install.
