Dumbo's public space experiment

...hard to see, but it's twilight on Pearl/Washington Street in Dumbo. I realize that it is imperative to let cars know that there is a public space here where they once were able to run willy-nilly, but the number of barriers seems to repel the people who should be using it. Cars still drove by as fast as possible...thinking it was a construction site.

This is what it's like inside the square.



Update: of course, Clarence from Streetfilms beat me to it! He's got some clearer shots in this video.
