Belgian stone roads also helps regulate the speed that traffic flows so this also something community developers might want to look at for safety reasons. There's been a lot of talk about getting some of these dirt bike riders to obey the speed limits since they like to speed down the boulevards so maybe just removing the asphalt would actually help with this particular issue.
Riding the dirt bikes and 4-wheelers in the city is illegal anyway, and it's so damn annoying. Not only that, but they even ride on the sidewalks sometimes. Law enforcement should handle that issue instead of us trying to make them "act in a more safe manner" while still doing something totally illegal.
ReplyDeleteNYPD have been told not to pursue the bikers in fear of chase related accidents.
ReplyDeleteBack to the stones; I was watching the reconstruction of Paris cobblestone streets earlier this year, was incredible ! They told me that they replace the damaged stones, but that 75 % of them are the original stones ! Amazing....I would LOVE to see our Harlem streets refurbished. They feeling I get walking on the same stones that have been walked on for generations is so moving for me personally.
ReplyDeleteOne gets the same historic feeling when in Soho and the stone roads never have bikers on them because of the bumpy ride it would entail.
ReplyDeleteTrue...But I want them uptown !! LOL !
ReplyDeleteI love the way they look; hate the way they feel underfoot and how treacherous they are when one is wearing heels.
