The NDP MPP for St. Catharines is asking the province's Minister of Transportation for a response to her urgent request to fund a suicide prevention barrier on the Burgoyne Bridge, in St. Catharines.
In an open letter to Jeff Yurek, Jennie Stevens says after three deaths at the bridge the urgency for barriers is crucial.
Stevens says her office reached out with no success in October to the former Transportation minister, requesting that the ministry fund a barrier.
She's hoping for an immediate response to her request.
Her letter follows another death at the bridge this morning.
