APRIL 24, 2007 --

… that after private vehicles are banned from Manhattan below 96th Street (only taxis, limos, bicycles. pedicabs and horse-drawn carriages to be permitted), the city will make up for revenue lost from parking violations by issuing fines for
pedestrian violations, with PVB below 96th Street now to refer to Pedestrian Violations Bureau.

Added to jay-walking and crossing against the light violations will be, among other offenses: walking under the influence; walking while cell-phoning; triple-walking (three abreast); walking while eating; walking wearing inappropriate dress, pushing baby carriage without tie-belt to carriage --and,of course, pushing baby without seatbelt.
