I agree, I love bollards. I do think though that materials need to be considered that won't pose long term maintenance headaches like the cast aluminum poles painted gloss black that turn flat chalky black in two years and then decide to start throwing off the finish altogether in sheets.

Absent consideration of costs, I love bollards.

Cars parked along the sides of the road are much cheaper than bollards. More parallel parking also helps reduce the need for parking lots and garages, allowing them to be redeveloped, filling in the gaps, and increasing the density and thus the walkability of a city.

In the US, liability seems to be a huge issue with bollards...liability that a car might get damaged or a driver might get hurt.
That's how screwed up our liability laws are. |
