The large blocks on the four corners of the Marion County Courthouse lawn are being moved a few feet.

Facilities Manager Cal Stephens decided to move the blocks off the sidewalk after noticing that it made it more difficult for wheelchair bound visitors to get up the curb and snow removal more challenging. Stephens says the blocks can be a nuisance for pedestrians as well. The blocks will be moved to recently poured concrete pads to make small gardens at each of the four corners. Stephens said the movement of the blocks is scheduled to begin July 6.
