When Mayor Bloomberg temporarily moved his office to the Office of Emergency Management during a renovation of City Hall earlier this summer, Brookynites were told that car-bomb-preventing street blockades along Washington Street would only be temporary. But this week, an eagle-eyed Paper editor spotted new paint on the street indicating that the barriers — which would not only block terrorists, but local activists’ hopes of restoring car traffic to the currently off-limits street — could soon return. Note how the spraypaint (left) matches the configuration of a traffic barrier (right).
