- Heffron said:
"Seats are important but I don’t think it’s the best idea to have seating compete with bike parking." - Doc Barnett said:
"It is likely the victims were “drunk”—reduced to the awareness and reflexes of the children and elderly that are usually run down when auto are trying to beat..." - Davis said:
"Fender bender + gigantic fireball." - Cap'n Transit said:
"Good seating is an important part of streets as places. Too bad the city got rid of so much of it in the ’70s and ’80s." - epc said:
"It wasn’t just a fender bender, car vs truck in the Middagh Street overpass in the NB BQE lanes. See Brooklyn Heights blog for photos & video. http://brooklynheightsblog.com /"
