I get the feeling law enforcement is thinking pretty hard (and effectively) as it is. Barrier mania has more to do with insurance liability and jittery local decision-makers than it does with law enforcement. This bollard upgrade is a move in a better direction.

Only in NYC would such a picture be used to illustrate a concrete bollard rather than the man in black leather pants and white angel wings directly in front of the bollard... with no comment necessary. Love it.

The terroists have won. Those stupid barriers are proof. So you can't drive a vehicle in Grand central. But those barriers won't stop a idiot with explosives in rolling luggage. No matter what someone can get through. Terrorists need to be stopped before they can blow stuff up. Oh but wait that is a job where law enforcement has to THINK... Oh... ok... that is why there are barriers. They are easier than real police work and a thought process.

"Cement" is to "flour" as "concrete" is to "bread" I think it should be Concrete. I learned this the hard way ... and I'm still not over it!

i effing hate those barriers in front of grand central. it makes it impossible to walk on the sidewalk. coupled with the construction on the lexington ave side, it allows enough space for one person.
