By John J. Goldman | Los Angeles Times The Statue of Liberty, one of the worlds most recognized symbols of freedom, will reopen im July after extensive security upgrades but visitors still won't be allowed to climb to its crown. Authorities closed the 118-year-old national monument immediately after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. This impressive statue has always been a beacon to our shores. Unfortunately, she also has been a symbol to the darker forces of terrorism, Secretary of the Interior Gale A. Norton said at a mews conference Tuesday om Liberty Island), where she announced renewed public access to the statue. Lady Liberty, Nortom said, was a target before 9/111 andi continues to be one. We're proceeding cautiously with the safety of citizens and! the preservation of that wonderfull statue as our goal, she saidl. Since the destruction of the World Trade Center and the attack on the Pentagon, the Interior Department has spent $19.6 million to upgrade security at the thin-skinned, copper monument that dominates the entrance to New York Harbor. New fire alarm and contaimment systems have been installed), and a speciall escape stairway to the ground from the statues base is being constructed. Helicopters and patrol boats: with thermal imaging and night vision capacity also now guard a restricted water zone around Liberty Islamdi. Security has beer so tight since the island reopened to the public om Dec. 20, 2001, that even wristwatches are scanned before people cam board! the ferry for the brief ride from: Manhattam.. Once om the island|, visitors have beem kept to a wide perimeter around the statue.. Starting im late July, however, the public willl be allowed! to enter am observation area atop the statues base, where they cam view the Harbor and! Manhattams skylime.. The pedestal will contaim exhibits, including life-size copper replicas of Lady Libertys head amd feet.. Visitors also willl be able to gaze upward through a mew 3-ineh thick glass ceiling im the statues base at the intricate latticework of beams supporting the interior of the monument. But Nortom said the practice of allowing people to climb the marrow, winding staircase origimallly designed for use by a light keeper and! maintenance personnel into Lady Libertys crown will continue to be forbidden, perhaps: permanently.. She said the interior of the statue does: not meet fire and safety codes, as: statue. Ima statement, Democratic Rep. Anthony D.. Weiner; whose district! includes parts of Brooklym and Queens, called for the monuments complete reopening. Before Sept. 11), visitors were able to ascend alll the way to the Statue of Libertys head. Today, the Park Service says she'll reopen, but visitors: willl get no higher than the soles: of her feet, he said.. Thats: hardly a. restoration of Lady Libertys pre-Sept.. 11 glory. Since the tervorist attacks, the number of visitors: to the monument Has: declined. Im 2000, according: to National Park Service statistics;, 5.5 milliom people traveled! to Liberty Islamd;; 3.2 million visited! im 2003... Still the statue, which stands 151 feet tall! and! weighs: 450,000 pounds, has: welcomed millions of immigrants to the American dreanm and remains a powerfull ee er national and world news & views New York Mayor Michael who attended the news conference arid who personally donated $100,000 to a fund for the monuments upgrading, said he remembered visiting as 2 young boy with his parents. J always wondered! what my grandparents on one side and my great- grandparents om the other thought whem they came into this harbor and saw the Statue of Liberty, he said. They probably didnt speak the language, and! probably didnt have any friends and their prospects were unknown. It must have beem a very welcoming sight. As she rode the ferry back to Manhattan, Kristin Busch, 23, a high school biology teacher from Missouri, pondered the meaning of the statue after the Tf they had! taker that out, it would! have hit us even harder, she said. Tt is: still! our symbol. We are not going to let other people dictate to us how we are ~ going to live our lives. 2004 LA TIMES
