After two pedestrians were seriously injured in collisions with cyclists, Prospect Park and the Transport Department attempt to prevent accidents from occurring again by installing a bunch of orange barrels. But Brooklyn residents have mixed feelings towards this “temporary solution,” according to the Gothamist. Blogger Brooklyn Spoke also weighed in on this issue, pointing out that “the barrels are slightly taller than the average five- or six-year old and could possibly make it harder for cyclists and drivers to see a child about to dart across the road.”
