Fencing off Palisades Park is unnecessary, and an affront to the citizens of Santa Monica. The only use of the park during the Coronavirus crisis is by individual walkers and runners, some walking their dogs or children, or exercising. I have not seen any groups, and all occupants have maintained appropriate separations. You underestimate the intelligence of your constituents by closing the park, and make life even more difficult during the crisis.
How about closing Tongva and Reed Parks where the homeless congregate and present a greater risk of contracting the virus?
Mr. Cole, Take Down the Fence!
