Doepfner New York City Police Department One Police Plaza, Room 1406 New York, NY 10038 Maybe he can help you understand how they schedule these things conveniently to avoid as much public feedback as possible. Neato! Dan,

I tell you, those cyclists are a real menace!! regarding the crash on Broadway where the refuge saved pedestrians: why on earth was the taxi traveling at 40 to 50 mph?

This one was because the police hearings are scheduled for 11-2pm when few people are available - conincidence? I think not. We would have had many more people on a weekend or evening!

I've seen several rallies for causes like the bike lane on Houston and now this one at times that just about make it certain that only the most extreme supporters of any cause will attend. This even came closest being held at 10am. An hour earlier and I would've been there.

Councilmembers Gerson and Mendez both spoke out against the rules as did Mark Taylor, director of Assemble for Rights NYC and Norman Siegel. And thanks for pointing out the article about the cement barriers on Broadway saving lives. Park Avenue on the East Side, which has a similar pedestrian island does not have that same protection. I will be taking this up with Community Board 8's Transportation folks to see if we can get something installed there as well.
