UPDATE: Front Street barricaded

UPDATE: The barricades were taken down at 1:00 PM on Sunday (I tweeted it).

PSE&G made emergency repairs to the gas main that runs under Front Street, and there was a large T-shaped fresh macadam patch covering the opening made in the street.

Within minutes, Front Street and Park Avenue were flooded with traffic.

I noticed that a vacant prowl car parked to block Park Avenue at Second Street had a dented rear door, but failed to take a pic.

Turns out it had been hit by a drunken driver, as I was told later, and that the driver had head and neck injuries.

Think they'll sue the city?
