Well, I told D. not to lose sleep over it! But I always like inquiring about things like this since sometimes even the folks that have left stuff behind have forgotten about it. (I think about this Nosy Neighbor all the time, when DOT had left concrete barricades at Chambers and West Broadway and we all just walked around them for years. Or when the MTA finally got rid of the trash-collecting fences over the subway grates and just covered them with plywood.)

So nothing exciting here, but this from the Hudson River Park Trust: “The Trust is assessing a repair to the transition between the safety surface and the adjacent concrete curb edge. The drums are there temporarily as a safety measure.”

There you have it!
