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

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.
