glatt, I never ceases to amaze me the stupid things people do sometimes. Like WTF are they thinking? Good for you for reporting it.

The windows upstairs even broke when the car hit the building. And it was like 7:30 in the morning or something.
Here is the statue and building they hit... http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM3ZMM

That still pisses me off to know end. I am not sure that lady was even charged. That is where we stand for the St. Pats Day Parade.

glatt, I don't see why they couldn't just put up some concrete filled pipes. It would be a very low cost solution.

similar to this blocking in the hydrant:

Yea, I think she was charged with a misdemeanor. She could have KILLED someone. And the property destruction was priceless. I thought they should have thrown the book at her. Wasn't she a repeat offender or something? Or am I thinking of someone else?

I don't know.

I was just thinking about this thread for some reason. I forgot to update it that about 2 months ago, they installed bollards. Cars don't drive on the sidewalk any more.
