Fight over historic site plans is revived
The Park Service's plan is to fence off the block bordered by Fifth, Sixth, Chestnut and Market Streets. The fence would be similar to others in the area, typically a low Colonial brick base with black iron spires rising to about eight feet, though the height could vary. About half of the park area south of Independence Hall on Chestnut Street would be closed off by a similar fence.
Group looks to keep Independence Square park and the grounds in front of Independence Hall available to the people of Old City and Society Hill.
