Reply To: Closing the Streets in Boro Park for Shabbos

Emergency vehicle access is a non-issue. It is done in EY, and there is no increased risk in EY as a result. And since the streets are empty, the ambulances can zip right through, unlike streets that have other cars driving about.

And, yes, I’d have no problems with Pakistanis doing it in a virtually all Paki neighborhood. And I don’t believe it would reduce our political capital for other unrelated needs.
