FRIENDS' Testimony:
FRIENDS Preservation Committee does not oppose the replacement of the inner central swing doors and side doors with slimmer bronze profiles featuring ballistic glazing. This modification aligns with the existing aesthetic of the Church's entryway. Additionally, we believe that the installation of a rectangular bar grating platform for garbage storage is essential for maintaining sanitation. We do not object to the removal of the existing fence and its relocation to the side of the platform either.
