The five-pointed variety
(I just learned that these asterisks are fire pump test headers.)
I first learned about the DOT's Safety City program a few years ago when I stumbled onto Staten Island's Safety City Boulevard, a simulated city street with intersections at Bicycle Helmet Road, Buckle Up Drive, and Stop Look Listen Lane.
Name-checked in the NY Times's obituary about John McNamara, the "Sage of the Bronx"
Wandering through a little wooded area just north of Ferry Point Park, I came upon this rigged-up shelter on the bank of Westchester Creek.
I'm walking every street in New York City.
This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
