The cost of building a suicide barrier on the Golden Gate Bridge would run between $25 and $50 million. That’s according to a new report outlining five different possible designs for the proposed barrier. We take up the more than 70 year old discussion of how to prevent suicide from this historical icon.

Guests:

Eve Meyer, executive director of San Francisco Suicide Prevention, the oldest volunteer crisis line in the United States

Mary Currie, public affairs director for the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District

Dr. Clark Hinderleider, secretary of Clinician-Scientists for the Public's Weal, an advocacy group for healthcare and healthcare reform in Marin County and San Francisco
