Vara says there will be four entrances to Fiesta for the public: one on Commerce and South Santa Rosa, another on Houston Street and two more on De La Rosa Street.<\/p>\n
As for safety measures, SAPD is adding concrete barriers in areas police see as an issue for potential vehicle attacks and metal detectors at all four entrances.<\/p>\n
