Readers continue to note the sad state of the Open Street concept on Avenue B between Sixth Street and 14th Street. Since the last post on Friday, the police barricades meant to block off the Avenue to through traffic from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. aren't faring so well.
The barricade was smashed and discarded on Ninth and B. The one at Eighth Street is hanging on...
The one at Seventh Street was clipped by a fire truck this weekend...
And someone dragged one of the pieces about 50 yards to the east on Seventh Street...
And at Sixth Street...
The city announced the Open Street plan in late May to help residents safely get some fresh air while social distancing.
Updated 1 p.m.
Via the 9th Precinct...
Thanks for the calls and messages regarding the barriers on Avenue B needing to be replaced to ensure safety while the open space is being utilized. The replacement should be up today. Thanks for your patience!#EastVillage #NYC pic.twitter.com/08NKtxE3QK

The new barricades lasted a few hours. We're right back to them being tossed to the sidewalk and cars speeding up and down B. What a joke.
ReplyDeleteIf the real concern is about cars speeding up and down the road why not installed permanent speed bumps. Those barricades are destroyed all the time. They confused many drivers and emergency vehicles. LETS GET RID OF THE BARRICADES FOREVER SPEED BUMPS ARE THE WAY!!!
