getting permits to place them is probably pretty expensive.
Some of it, I would hope, is also earmarked for future maintenance.
Getting permits…. From a city office…. Which the mayor is a part of…..
I dunno, I just have a feeling he could do something about that too.
in some places sidewalks are part of the buildings they border. dunno how ny does it but that has stopped a lot of projects.
Ownership of a private lot in NYC comes with a legal requirement to keep the public sidewalk in front of it clean and clear, but the city has complete say over any sidewalk fixture installations.
Paying 4 city workers to watch the 1 guy qualified to put the concrete anchors in. The other 4 are the driver, navigator, pylon guy, and hinge greaser.
