Cornell Seeks New Bridge Barriers

Cornell and the City of Ithaca will be holding a meeting Wednesday to consider how well the fences around the bridges on campus and throughout town have worked out. The parties will contemplate the efficacy of the fences and then address Cornell’s request:

Cornell is now asking to install interim barriers considered more aesthetically pleasing. If approved, the interim barriers would be in place through the 2010-2011 school year while the city and Cornell develop permanent solutions, according to John Gutenberger, director of Cornell University’s Office of Community Relations.
