ch: The maintenance on a sidewalk and sculptures are long term things anyways, and people don't really have an impact.
Of course they have an impact. People climb on the sculptures, write things on them, throw things at them. And yes, people do have a impact on sidewalks. They don't just walk on sidewalks. Wheelchairs and carts are used on them, and vehicles are occasionally driven on them.
ch: Regardless, it would be cheaper to have someone come once a week to pick up the trash than to pay park rangers to make sure no one enters the park, rangers that weren't required when the park was open.
What makes you think park rangers aren't required when the park is open? And maintaining a park involves much, much more than someone coming in once a week to pick up trash.
What experience do you have in park and monument maintainance? I ask because, while I myself have none, I do know enough about gardening, landscaping, and the care of statues and pavements, to know that maintenance and protection of these amenities are not as simple as you seem to believe.
