"In addition, at the meeting, Ameruso called for ladders, ropes or other
devices to be installed along the park's bulwark so that people who fall or
jump in the river can save themselves. Former Parks Commissioner Henry
Stern, a board member of the Trust, replied, however, that ladders could be
used by people to go down into the water, rather than come up, resulting in
more people potentially being put in harm's way. But Ameruso said saving
lives takes precedence. Taylor said it was an important subject that
requires an in-depth discussion and that the board would do so at a later
date."
