Expensive Seal Installed in Sidewalk At State Capitol Proves Slippery In Snow

The season's first snowfall had Wyoming officials scrambling to keep people from slipping on the highly polished masonry of the official state seal that was inlaid into the sidewalk in front of the state Capitol this summer. Yesterday, orange cones stood around the roughly 12-foot-diameter seal, which was installed as part of a renovation project. Chris Boswell, director of the Wyoming Department of Administration and Information, said it cost several hundred thousand dollars. Boswell said he didn't know of anyone slipping on the seal yet, but said the cones went up when workers recognized it could be a hazard.
