“Hopper is a bear of a guy with a bushy mustache and a sensitive side. When he noticed that waterfront joggers have a ritual of touching the fence at the dead-end of the sidewalk next to Fort Point, he had the bridge’s sign painter make a sign with two handprints on it, and another sign with two dog paws, because one woman had her dog touch the fence.” —“Saving Lives Just Part of the Job” by Scott Osltler, San Francisco Chronicle, January 10, 2001

This is cute! I like the impressions of those hands.
Superstore. Neat guy, that Hopper. San Fran’s version of kissing the Blarney Stone
It is just that for the joggers.
I have been to that spot and shot through that fence – glad to know the story behind it!
The man behind the story is the remarkable one.
