The City of Houston is spending upwards of $1 million on a six-block stretch of Houston Avenue, including $100,000 to install medians and curbs, $230,000 to reverse the previous work and another $500,000 to repave the street with new asphalt.

There was both a water leak and a gas leak this week on the stretch of Houston Avenue where recently installed street modifications, aimed at improving safety for motorists and pedestrians, are being undone.

Car drivers kill 200-300 people per year in #NYC, and injure another > 60,000 people each and every year. And yet when people in this city try to get a permit to remove cars from their street for a day, they're denied by the #NYPD due to concerns about "violence." 🙄
