Pretty sure the Jersey barriers you’re talking about were for outdoor dining during corona, so cagers didn’t flatten 20 people eating dinner because they were texting. The art was just to make them look a little less unpleasant.

Did they do away with them? eating inside or outside a driver texting can still plow through the building, I’m sure they stood a purpose that was not my complaint, my complaint is it made the downtown look rather dumpy. Almost had this “please excuse our appearance while we’re renovating” feel to it.

They decided to keep them 3 years I think. But last summer painted them all the same reddish brick color. I don’t think they looked much better and not sure they needed them. I don’t understand why people would want to eat so close to traffic - the sidewalks I understand.
