Hi, I think the main objective is to get it closed during the night, when there is little use of it except by criminals and vagrants. I would suggest a proper survey or head count as to how many people use it every day and night. It would be useful and relevant information in managing the problem.
I also hope that bikers push their bikes through it instead of riding as this could pose a danger for pedestrians!
