Thanks Parks Maintenance. This is the only safe ped passage to District from State Street as no crosswalks were put at the off ramp.

Check with the state DOT they looked a bunch of those fences to keep homeless people out

Welp,
There were still folks squatting by the river and leaving suitcases and garbage as of Saturday so all it solved was blocking pedestrians from crossing.

The state DOT locked this up, I am trying to locate the appropriate contact

Thanks. I messaged the regional office as well.

See below comments.

The gate is still locked as of 4/19

The issue has been resolved. If you need to report a new issue please do so in See Click Fix or call the Department of Parks, Recreation and Trees at (203) 946 - 8004. Thank you.
