Bollard all the sidewalks. Pedestrians will be safer and motorists can gleefully smash-up their vehicles (and each other) anyway they like.

Surely, not knowing if your foot is hitting the gas or the brake amounts to criminal negligence. If this had been a subway driver, you can be sure the MTA would be hauled into criminal court.

Even if no criminal charges were filed there'll probably be a civil suit. Let's hope this driver has plenty of insurance because this boy is going to need a lot of medical care.

And "no charges" against the driver. Sigh.

That story about the boy in Brooklyn is just horrendously awful.

RE: Would Plug-in Cars Fit on New York Streets? Well, you wouldn't need very many of them, because the "electric car future" is a fantasy inside the heads of NYT's writers and green types who don't understand that it isn't scalable to anything like what we have now which was helped along by "free" oil just waiting for us to pull it out of the ground.

The government keeps teasing us with the hope of congestion pricing or East River tolls; the majority want them. It would greatly improve my Downtown Brooklyn Neighborhood, as well as the rest of the city.

But our State government is too broken to let it happen, so I'm not going to get my hopes up this time.

Although 350 million would help with the capital plan.
