Reply to comment by H00die5zn in Phila Parks & Rec installing “barriers” along Kelly Drive right now 👏🏼 by PettyAndretti

I would guess that they’ll never install a permanent barrier here because, once the regatta is in town driving on the grass is 100% okay

But if they need something removable, there are much stronger options out there than a rope. There are those wide poles that go up and down into the ground (I don’t know what they’re called).

True true. Didn’t think about that. Or maybe have access points for first responders. Idk.

Not just for emergencies, all of the teams drive their boat trailers up and a bunch of the families drive up and unload their tents and shit in the early mornings. Maybe not every time but I’ve at least seen it happening while riding on the path in the early mornings.

Having worked regatta parking before, there are defined entrances and exits for those trailers, and I’ve only ever seen trailers use the grass for staging downriver of the Columbia Bridge (the finish line). So they could theoretically make the entrance/exit portion removable and the remainder permanent.

Exactly making a locked gate for when access to the grass is needed is the solution to this "but sometimes" problem.
