i always love it a little bit when i have to drive down the JRP, it's downright bucolic in places! of course, the second anything unusual happens it becomes a parking lot but it's too bad the attention to aesthetics were the first thing to go in later highway designs.

I used to walk there with my friends back in the late 1960's - early 1970's to watch cars drag-race along that stretch of the boulevard. It most certainly WAS a place where drag-racers did their thing. Even then I thought that this was the most unlikely place to engage in these activities, because between the stone walls of the cemetery sections and the steel & concrete stanchions that supported the overhead highway, if a driver lost momentary control of his speeding vehicle, a fatal accident was almost a certainty. That must have added to the "thrill" of racing there.

This is great news for pedestrian safety in NYC. Our officials should even take these steps further, and make it so that pedestrians near schools during school hours have the COMPLETE right-of-way -- meaning no cars can turn AT ALL during the minutes when pedestrians are given the signal to cross the street. This way we can continue to protect our children who walk to school who cannot be seen in the inherent blind spots of vehicles.
