Looks like the local library has gone another step in an effort to protect the public and discourage skateboarders from riding the concrete retaining walls and metal handrails. That’s a new custom fence (on the left above the steps) which curves around the concrete planters. Before the fence was there, it was possible to walk or skate along the planter walls. And it was easy to topple ten feet or more to the bottom of a flight of concrete steps against the building.
