The Brooklyn Half Marathon, May 17, Saturday

Expect lots of sweaty people in shorts, and some traffic.

If you look closely, you can see that the NYPD has discreetly mounted cameras along the entire route.

Some of them are strapped to existing poles near street level, and others are mounted up near the street lights.

Easily several millions of dollars of equipment.

A few restrooms

nice eagle-eyes whynot. i live on EP and its a lovely site to see blocks of portapotties early in the morn. heading out again and curious to see these cameras. good on the nypd for wiring it up for safety. enjoy the fresh air today, im guessing by tomorrow later on, it wont be smelling like lilacs.

In past years, the stalls are gone by 5 PM Saturday.

A massive undertaking:

Awfully nice of them to shut down all subway service near Brooklyn Museum, cancel the replacement shuttlebus service, and lie by claiming there is shuttle bus service on the MTA website.  Plus, a nice long chain link fence cutting off the park, museum, and Botanical garden from pedestrian access.
