Reply To: Closing the Streets in Boro Park for Shabbos

If streets are closed, it will lead to chilil shabbos and other aveiros: people will start shpatzrin with their wives and saying good shabbos to other couples; baby carriages will be pushed; kids will play in the street and forget what a shabbos is supposed to be; people will think you can carry as well; how are mail and other packages going to be delivered- your neighbors are going to be pretty angry with you, avhaben; the goyim will be upset and you need to consider their feelings.
