Louisiana’s Attorney General announced Monday a “full review” of New Orleans’ security plans in the wake of the New Year's Day terror attack on Bourbon Street that killed 14 revelers and injured dozens more. State Attorney General Liz Murrill ordered the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation to examine the city’s security plans for New Year’s Eve and the Sugar Bowl after consulting with the governor, she said in a statement. The move comes after criticism and questions about New Orleans’ security protocol, in which it failed to deploy anti-vehicle barriers that it had owned for years. Additionally, other barriers, known as bollards, had recently been removed because they were malfunctioning and needed to be replaced. New Orleans officials have defended the city's New Year's Eve security measures, which they said included installing temporary barriers, vehicles and law enforcement personnel throughout the French Quarter.

The city had also been gearing up for Carnival, with weeks of parades, performances and parties starting Monday. And in February, the crown jewel of American sports: Super Bowl LIX. The Special Event Assessment Rating (SEAR) designation and five-tiered ranking system determine whether events require federal security support such as field intelligence teams, air security, bomb detection dogs and more. The Super Bowl has been designated SEAR 1, the top tier reserved for “significant events” with national or international importance requiring “extensive” support. But there were no such sturdy bollards on New Year’s Eve; they were under repair, with new barriers set to be installed before the Super Bowl takes place.

NEW ORLEANS — Vehicle attacks are a rising global terror threat that can be difficult to prevent — but the deadly assault on New Year’s revelers in New Orleans shows how a city’s efforts to protect a heavily crowded and vulnerable area can fall short, experts said. “New Orleans does have mobile vehicle barriers that are designed to block streets and sidewalks,” Don Aviv, CEO of Interfor International, told NBC News on Friday. Asked hours later whether the police had considered the possibility of a driver mounting the sidewalk on Bourbon Street, Capt. The sense of betrayal was echoed by Bourbon Street workers as they returned to their jobs this week. “It seems worse than poor planning,” said Rory Windhorst, who works at a business on Bourbon Street near the site of the attack.

To the Editor:Re “Traffic Stops Fell in Pandemic, and Didn’t Return” (The Upshot, front page, Aug. 1):Thank you for highlighting the public health crisis that is the rise in traffic deaths across the United States. I advise children to wear a seatbelt, look both ways before crossing a road and wear a helmet when cycling. We need an evidence-based approach to this public health crisis. We need to invest in Vision Zero programs to fund structural changes, including speed cameras and physical barriers between cyclists and drivers. Cities need to invest in public transit systems.

A Missouri man who crashed a box truck carrying Nazi paraphernalia into White House security barriers last year agreed to plead guilty on Monday to damaging property. The man, Sai Varshith Kandula, faces up to 10 years in prison on the charge. Prosecutors say Mr. Kandula, who was 19 at the time of the incident, caused more than $4,300 in damage to National Park Service property. At about 9:30 p.m., he drove the truck into metal bollards near Lafayette Square, in front of the White House, sending nearby pedestrians running. Then he put the truck in reverse and slammed into the barriers a second time.

The new Perelman Performing Arts Center is the most glamorous civic building to land in New York in years. You may have noticed the building under construction if you were near the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan during the past year or so. A floating, translucent marble cube, it nestles at the foot of One World Trade Center, just eight stories high, a runt in a herd of mega-tall commercial skyscrapers but impossible to miss. Back then, the city was all-consumed by grief and fear, its economy in free-fall, ground zero still a smoldering gravesite. We were reminded just this week of the toll when the names of the thousands of dead were again read aloud.

Now, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Interior Department should work together to ease the damage, the GAO said. A Customs and Border Protection spokesman said Wednesday that the agency is working on a response to the report. An Interior Department spokeswoman said the agency would have no comment. “The wall saved lives and disrupted the cartel’s ability to improve their operational control of our country’s borders.”Environmental groups said the GAO report confirmed their earlier complaints. They said future repair work could benefit from more involvement by the Interior Department, a lead manager of the federal land where much of the damage occurred.

Every year, New York City’s Department of Transportation collects tens of millions of dollars from property owners in return for permission to place street furniture on, over or under city sidewalks. This includes, but is not limited to, signs, filigreed lampposts, benches, bollards, planters, permanent trash receptacles, delivery ramps, underground vaults and just about anything else imaginable, including ornamental clocks. Each bears the surname of its owner, Donald J. Trump. Belatedly, the City of New York would like to be paid for allowing the Trump Tower clock to occupy part of a public sidewalk. The fee for what is called revocable consent — temporary permission that can be revoked after 10 years and is subject to renewal — varies widely.

Turkish Cypriot authorities are planning to build an 11.5 km road linking Pyla/Pile to a neighbouring community which lies in breakaway north Cyprus.

Vehicles crash into buildings with surprising frequency in the US: more than 100 times each day. On average, one of those crashes each day happens at a 7-Eleven. In all, there were 6,253 storefront crashes at 7-Elevens in that period — an average of more than one per day. The once-a-day crash at 7-Eleven is in fact dwarfed by the total number of crashes that take place at storefronts across the US, however.

Among them: an order to immediately halt construction on former President Donald Trump’s signature border wall. Before Biden stopped new construction on the wall, the Trump administration had built 458 miles of what it dubbed “border wall system,” according to final figures compiled by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and provided to U.S. News. The total figure also includes what the agency calls “secondary border wall” or sections of wall built behind preexisting barriers that ultimately remained in place. Since taking office and largely stopping wall construction, Biden has canceled border wall projects paid for by Pentagon funds. The Biden administration most recently said it would use border security funding allocated by Congress to close small gaps in border barriers and to pay for environmental fixes and the clean-up of border wall construction sites.
