NY to install more security barriers

New York will install 1,500 new security barriers in high-profile locations to guard against vehicle attacks and other terror-related incidents, Mayor Bill de Blasio said on Tuesday. He said metal bollards will replace some of the concrete cubes and barriers that have been in place as temporary measures near pedestrian areas. He said it was part of the city’s effort to spend $50 million on public areas that are vulnerable to attacks.
