The man who jumped from the Treat Boulevard overpass along Interstate 680 in Walnut Creek Tuesday has been identified as a Brentwood man.
The victim of the apparent suicide was Airnoi Saykosy, 32, of Brentwood. It is believed he climbed over the nine-foot-high, chain-link fence and jumped to the freeway some 20 feet below, Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office spokesman Jimmy Lee said.
At about 9:15 a.m. Tuesday, authorities received a call from someone reporting a person on the Treat Boulevard overpass poised to jump. The man did indeed jump onto the roadway. Three southbound lanes of I-680 were closed between highway 242 and Treat Boulevard. The lanes re-opened in the late morning.

How about you research the current ADA guidelines regarding surface materials for play areas?…Read More Walnut Creek is simply acting to be in compliance. Not sure where you get the idea that wood chips are "much more dangerous". A reasonable overview of the current regulations can be found here:

If you disagree with the regulations, please contact your representatives.
