Major cities need to start building barriers between roads and sidewalks.
Toronto used buses to block roads for PRIDE to ensure this type of thing couldn't happen.
We need a more permanent solution.

At least 8 dead after suspect crashes truck in NYC, shouts 'Allahu Akbar' in 'act of terror'
LOWER MANHATTAN, New York (WABC) -- At least eight people are dead and more than a dozen were injured after a truck mowed down people on a bike path in New York City Tuesday.
Mayor Bill de Blasio said in a news conference that this appears to be an act of terrorism that was deliberately carried out.
The incident happened just after 3 p.m. ET on the bike path that runs along the West Side Highway in Lower Manhattan.
NYPD officials said a truck entered the West Street pedestrian/bike path a few blocks north of Chambers Street. It proceeded to strike multiple people on the path.

The vehicle continued south, striking another vehicle. The driver exited the vehicle displaying imitation firearms -- a pellet gun and a paintball gun -- and was shot by NYPD officers, investigators said.
The suspect is in custody. Multiple law enforcement officials tell ABC News that the suspect In custody is identified as 29-year-old Sayfullo Saipov from Tampa, Florida.
One witness report is that the suspect yelled 'Ali Akbar" after getting out of the vehicle. Police are interviewing more witnesses at the scene.
The truck is a white rental truck, which can be seen in this photo provided by NYPD:
A spokesperson for Home Depot confirmed that it's a truck that belongs to the retail chain:
"I can confirm it was a Home Depot rental truck. We'll be cooperating with authorities in their investigation. At this point you'll need to speak with them for any additional information."
Officials said this does not appear to be connected to any larger terror group or events.
The sprawling crime scene runs several blocks.
A witness said a man drove his pickup truck down the bike lane on the West Side Highway and ran over multiple people. The truck then crashed into a school bus at Chambers and West, the witness said, adding that the vehicle could not move anymore so the suspect got out and started shooting.
The FBI is responding to the scene.

Very cowardly act. His last name sounds Russian or from one of those Russia’s breakaway republics.
An Uzbeck refugee Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov. Another great success story of the vetting process for Muslim refugees.
This whole situation wasn't far worse because a single NYPD Officer happened to be there and shot him.

Amazing how all these fucktards are granted a gift of going to a different country for a better life. You'd think all these guys would be trying to get away from all the crap they are running away from....... but end up just bringing their baggage with them.
Lucky for me I live in the burbs. Terrorists typically aim for downtown busy spots.

Was just there 9 days ago and this is all the shit I couldn't get out of my head..worried about it happening while I was there. Something has to be done!
The more likely thing to happen is for major cities to ban cars in the downtown car. It's somewhat practical in a city like New York or Hong Kong with lots of transit options, but not in Toronto.

You would be correct,... it appears there is a preponderance of hatred displayed by the Islamic attacks throughout the world.
Anyone think US is innocent in any of this needs to give their head a shake. In Iraq alone 3,771 civilian deaths by friendly fire on sovereign land by an invading country. You think seeing a family member killed by a US soldier isn't going to mess you up. For all that Drumpf touts with winning war on Isis, deaths have escalated in 2017

An Iraqi revenging the death of tens of thousands of his
people killed as a result of U.S. invasion of his country by waging
terrorism warfare is understandable if not rightful. But if
people who carried out this type of attack are mentally
unstable and deranged vengeance may not be the main
cause. Religious lunatics do not kill people out of
patriotism or nationalism.
A slight correction, it turns out that Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov who entered the United States in 2010 was not technically a refugee but rather entered via the Diversity Visa Lottery, a program the current administration has proposed to end.
