NEW YORK (WABC) -- The New York City Council passed legislation Tuesday to install more barricades protecting pedestrians.
The transportation committee voted in support of bill 1658A Monday, and it passed unanimously (50-0) through the full council Tuesday. The law means the city will place more bollards in strategic locations.
