Word On The Street

“Kelly's actions were commendable, but were there reporters with him at the scene? It seems more likely that the NYPD is using the incident to buff the Commissioner's image. Did they really need to flog this to the press?”

– Eric McClure In response to "NYPD Kisses the Blarney Stone After Ray Kelly Saves the Day"

Students Paint the Pavement in Brooklyn

Not only did these students beautify their school's street, they also identified it to motorists as a thoroughfare frequented by school-age pedestrians in a way that mere signage and conventional markings do not. There are hundreds of school zones across the city that could benefit from the same treatment.
