Granite and concrete blocks are installed as part of Operational Projects as hardening in order to provide safety for pedestrians. Many granite blocks have been repurposed from bridge rehabilitation projects across the City. These blocks are a sustainable solution that integrates seamlessly into New York City’s urban environment. NYC DOT also purchases new blocks when needed.
I have seen it this done well and with aesthetic attention to detail. But apparently in New York you just dropped rocks on the ground and go home.
Usually these are raised up to the level of the walkway and generally integrated little bit better into the environment maybe put some plants and gravel around them, this looks like the result of a landslide that they’ve just painted an outline around. I suppose it’s equally effective but I feel like aesthetics account for something.
Why did the bridges have a drinking problem?
