Public Divided at CB2 Meeting https://www.chelseanewsny.com/binrepository/img-8018_4-10704627_20260509005817.jpg How to handle the opening around the arch is an entirely different challenge. Currently, closing the space requires the NYPD to link around a dozen of the barricades. https://www.chelseanewsny.com/binrepository/img-8038_4-10704726_20260510084505.jpg The Parks Department has to move the barricades twice a day: at midnight and 6 a.m. Some believe gates would be easier to maneuver. https://www.chelseanewsny.com/binrepository/img-8042_4-10704729_20260510084507.jpg The barricades are held together by chains and locks, which the Parks Department has to lock and unlock every day. https://www.chelseanewsny.com/binrepository/img-8016_4-10704626_20260509005815.jpg Though the community was divided on the issue of permanent gates, they agree a better solution is needed than the current police barricades. Many argue that the barricades undercut the beauty of the park and fail to keep out people after hours. https://www.chelseanewsny.com/binrepository/img-8028_4-10704732_20260510084510.jpg At the end of the meeting, the committee decided to draft a proposal to request alternative designs from the Parks Department. Since Washington Square Park is in a historic district, the new design would have to be approved by the Landmarks Committee.
