You're Now (Sort of) Free to Enter Zuccotti Park
The park opened to visitors again this morning, but significant barriers remain in place
Zuccotti Park in lower Manhattan reopened on Tuesday morning. But with wind chill hovering around 14 degrees, few people took advantage of the opportunity to make their way past the metal fences that surround the contested plaza.
The barricades were torn down on New Year’s Eve by Occupy Wall Street protesters, although they didn’t stay down for long. Sixty-eight people were arrested that night, and the park was once again closed, as it was after OWS was ejected from Zuccotti on November 15.
