Brannan Calls for Bridge Barrier
Councilman Brannan joins Steve Matteo in asking for a bridge barrier. Story in the paper here
In February 2012, statistics showed: “On average, the Verrazano sees about two suicides a year, and between four and six attempts foiled by officers patrolling the bridge. (source)
The suicide rate from the Verrazzano Bridge has increased. I’ve been watching it since I saw that statistic in 2012 – see all the people whojumped/attempted to jump since then.
You would think someone in NYC would say it was more cost effective to put up a net or barriers, rather than use emergency response power and resources each time – to attempt to save a life….and being unsuccessful in many attempts.
