Heights Promenade
gets barriers after
drunk driving incident
BY SUSAN DE VRIES
Park stewards have installed
new strategically
placed boulders at several
entrances to the Brooklyn
Heights Promenade,
which will prevent cars
from speeding onto the
walkway and endangering
pedestrians.
The installation comes
less than two weeks after
33-year-old Eric James
drove his car onto the
walkway while allegedly
driving drunk on Dec. 2,
before speeding southbound
down the waterfront
pathway.
Cops quickly arrived on
the scene to fi nd James behind
the wheel of his blue
Toyota, and arrested the
suspect on a slew of charges
— including drunk driving,
reckless endangerment,
and driving with an
open container of alcohol,
according to police.
Authorities say that no
one was injured during the
stunt.
Now, the protective barriers
will aim to stop cars
from entering the walkway
all together, as vehicles
will be unable to overcome
the rough rocks that
now live outside the promenade’s
entrances.
