In April 2018, A Simple Solution to Preventing Suicides on the Coronado Bridge was published in the Times of San Diego. This proposed solution drew significant attention, but was not enacted.

Letter to the Editor: Don’t make sewage crisis a partisan issue
It’s too bad sewage on our beaches, an issue that is as nonpartisan as it gets, is being painted with partisan brush. (See the September 15 op-ed “Where are the Democrats in the ongoing Tijuana River sewage crisis?) To blame the Democrats and divide our community around this public health crisis is counterproductive. Instead, we […]
