This fall, Blockader crowd control barricades helped direct crowds and designate space at the debut of the Madison Square Market in New York’s City’s Madison Square Park. 

Approximately 60 food and shopping booths were set up on the west side of the park from October 9 through November 1.  Blockader interlocking steel barriers were set up in the approximately 5,000 foot food court area, and were used to separate the booths from the tables and chairs used by patrons, said Gregory Sanson, Operations Manager of Urban Space Management, and Manager of the Food Market.

 The barriers were accessorized with jackets (vinyl covers which fit the barrier frame) which featured the logo of the Madison Square Market.

 For this year’s parade on October 31, which featured approximately 125 floats, the city utilized 62 interlocking steel barriers at the intersection of Main Street and Vandalia Street, the location where the crowd concentration is highest.
