We are not going to get into an extended discussion of the appalling state of the Coney Island boardwalk again. We have done so many times before, for instance, here, here and here. Just this week, Kinetic Carnival returned to the subject. What will will say is that the problem is getting frightening in places and there are spots where people could plunge through at any moment. Even stopgap repairs aren’t keeping up with the rot. Here’s hoping for some off-season improvements, because it’s wrong for the city to allow a condition they know will hurt people.
