    COMMENTARY: Learning from Bryant Park, a book by Andrew Manshel

    Commentary  •  Ross Sandler

    Ross Sandler, Center for New York City Law Director

    A new book recalls the glory of Bryant Park before the Covid-19 shutdown: the movable chairs, the green grass, magazine racks and ping pong tables, shady paths and, most of all, the large numbers of people enjoying Bryant Park. (more…)

    Op-Ed Response: Pandemic May Necessitate Mail-In Ballots

    Commentary  •  Arthur S. Leonard

    Professor Arthur S. Leonard.

    The following is an op-ed in response to Professor Ross Sandler’s Commentary regarding mail-in ballots and the election. To read that piece, click here. 

    I think Ross Sandler makes some very good points in this editorial on mail-in ballots.  I think, however, that we have an exceptional situation with this year’s election.  Part of the problem in thinking about the mail-in ballot issue is that it takes a fair amount of time to undertake the steps necessary to conduct mail-in voting on a large scale, especially in a jurisdiction where it hasn’t been done in the past.  We can’t know far enough in advance what the situation will be with the pandemic.

    COMMENTARY: Bike Safety: Engineering, Education and Enforcement

    Commentary  •  Ross Sandler

    Ross Sandler, Center for New York City Law Director

    The City aggressively attacks unsafe conditions for bike riders on the City’s streets and avenues, but less successfully attacks unsafe behaviors of bike riders. Unsafe conditions can mostly be engineered away, but unsafe behaviors require changes of a cultural nature. The City in 2019 experienced 28 bike rider deaths and more than 4,000 bike injuries. So far 2020 has experienced more bike injuries than in 2019. To make the City safer for bike riders, the City should aggressively enforce the traffic laws against vehicles, but also aggressively enforce the rules against bike riders who ride against traffic, ignore traffic signals, speed, or text and talk on phones while riding.

    COMMENTARY – Subway Warning Signs: Make Them Tougher

    Commentary  •  Ross Sandler

    Ross Sandler, Center for New York City Law Director

    The number of persons killed by contact with subway trains is truly alarming and, worse, consistent year to year. The victims include persons with severe mental problems and drug and alcohol addiction on the one hand, and, on the other hand, adventuresome youths who see romance and challenge in the subways’ dark tunnels, speedy trains and endless tracks. All the deaths are tragedies. (more…)
