About Span Work
Plans for safeguarding the Colorado
Street Bridge in all likelihood
will not be ready to submit to the
Board of City Directors for consideration
before next Tuesday, it was
reported today by Harvey W. Hincks,
city engineer-street superintendent.
Late yesterday afternoon Engineer
Hincks held a conference with S. V.
Cortelyou, Los Angeles, division engineer
of the State Department of
Public Roads, and Nat Gripper, assistant
engineer, during which plans
for the bridge were discussed.
State Co-operation Seen
"Mr. Cortelyou and Mr. Gripper
assured me that the state undoubtedly
would co-operate with the City
in safeguarding the bridge," Engineer
Hincks said today.
"In the meantime 110 time is being
lost, as studies of the span ar('
being made and I feel confident that
some worth while plan will be developed
which will not only afford
the desired safeguard, but which
will also harmonize with the architectural
features of the bridge."
Engineers Cortelyou and Gripper
came to Pasadena yesterday primarily
for the purpose of discussing
with Engineer Hincks the repavement
of the west approach to the
Colorado Street Bridge.
Proposals Received
Fritz Zeiss, 1106 Hope Street South
Pasadena, in a letter to the Board of
City Directors today suggested that
the Colorado Street Brige could be
safe-guarded by erection of an archlike
trellis over the top of the span
with wistaria and roses trained over
the trellis.
Another suggestion received today
by the board was made by Mrs. I. N.
Barthalomew. 1271:\ North Los Robles
Avenue. She suggests placing a 4
foot spiked fence On the bridge rail.

| Description | This newspaper clipping is part of the "Colorado Street Bridge - Making it Suicide-Proof" folder donated to the library from the Public Works department. Since the opening of the bridge in 1913, many people had taken advantage of the low fence to jump off the bridge. The Engineering Department was told to make the bridge suicide proof. This folder is their work in that regard. Gift from Art Krieger, April, 2013 |
