Following the death of a person who jumped from the Alex Fraser Bridge Monday afternoon, calls are being raised again for a suicide barrier to be constructed.
The Alex Fraser Bridge does not have a suicide barrier like some of the other bridges in the Lower Mainland.
“A lot of old bridges, it’s difficult to install fencing, for example, secure high fencing. We have been able to do it on some — Ironworkers Bridge — but sometimes there’s an engineering challenge where wind loading or other considerations affect the performance of the bridge, and it’s simply not possible.”Police and the head of one of B.C.’s key crisis centres said in late September that they want to see the province get creative and find a way to install the barriers.
“And it just makes a person start to think a little bit more and hopefully, you know, we can have an intervention at that time and change someone’s mind around their suicidal thoughts.”10 predictors linked to opioid overdose in chronic pain patients5 children, 1 adult injured in school bus crash on highway north of Calgary
