But despite these efforts, shootings at the parade have persisted in recent years. A numb
Crown Heights residents fume over new barricades ahead of West Indian Day parade (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Residents of Crown Heights fumed this week over an added layer of security in the neighborhood ahead of the annual West Indian American Day Carnival — saying new barriers along Eastern Parkway are an inconvenience and may actually create a public safety hazard.
