The tear down process will require “coordination among multiple vendors and city personnel,” according to police.
Crews started taking down the fencing at Riverscape Metropark Monday afternoon, and have since reopened Monument Avenue.

They still have several streets to reopen and fencing to tear down.
“I hope they don’t do this to us again,” Christine Pollard said.
Pollard lives in the Biltmore Towers on Main Street. The building was inside the secure NATO Village.
“I had to come out the front of the building and go across to the north main bridge and around that river just to get to the store,” Pollard said.
She said she’s glad the NATO Assembly is over.
“It was just too big of an inconvenience,” Pollard said.
