I am so glad to hear that $15,000 was raised. Some of that came from local organizations that might also want to get mentioned here. (Unfortunately I cannot remember right now.)
2,000 seems like an incredibly heavy estimate. There were likely about 200-300 people there and when you factor in the coming and going, it was more like 500-700 max.
It was refreshing to see one of our council members skanking to the Upbeat! :)
It was a fun family event and the bands were excellent. Thanks to Twiin Productions for putting it on!

I wish Eli the best with his quest to get rid of degrading ethnic stereotyping in our school system.
Stay standing proud!

Rest in peace Lisa Marie. It is so tragic and sad to see an innocent life lost to unnecessary violence.
A word to the wise: if there is a crime scene happening on your street DO NOT GO OUTSIDE. You are jeopardizing yourself as well as the investigation. Lock your doors and stay inside your home.

Who do we send an email to? I was unable to make the Caltrans meetings.
On Caltrans Gives Public Glimpse of Cold Spring Suicide Barrier
Posted on June 11 at 8:45 a.m.
Caltrans money should be spent on safety projects for those of us who don't wish to kill themselves. Officers shouldn't risk their own lives to prevent someone from killing them self.
A barrier doesn't "save a life", it just stops people from killing themselves in that location.
COMPLETE WASTE OF TAXPAYER MONEY.
On Caltrans Gives Public Glimpse of Cold Spring Suicide Barrier

If you jump off of the Eiffel Tower or the Empire State Building you will likely kill innocent people below you. Those buildings should have barriers on them since they are suicide hotspots where people who don't want to die will likely be killed.
The Golden Gate Bridge has no barriers, so your point is moot sevendolphins.
Put the highway money into highway projects that save lives of people who don't want to die. For instance, the widening of Highway 395 near Lone Pine from a 2 lane highway to a separated 4 lane highway. How about improvements at rest stops so weary travelers can sleep in their cars in some shade or get a cup of coffee?
Dr, Glasgow, sorry for my inaccuracy with your study!

Sevendolphins says "Garrett Glasgow consistently overstates his case; he has done a statistical study that had insufficient sensitivity to prove anything; it was a good idea that failed in practice."
I'm even more confused. From what I got out of Monday's presentation, Garrett hasn't done any statistical studies but presented facts from other scientists' previous research. In the scientific community it would be considered a review, not a study.
If there isn't an airtight case in favor in barriers, why let caltrans spend millions of our money?
SAVE THE BRIDGE!
