Be it enacted by the Council as follows:
Section 1. Section 19-189.1 of the administrative code of the city of New York is amended by adding new subdivisions c and d to read as follows:

Such bollards shall be placed and spaced in such a way as to reasonably prevent a motor vehicle from passing through them and onto the sidewalk.
d. The commissioner may decline to install any bollards that are otherwise required by this section if, in the commissioner's determination, such installation would endanger the safety of pedestrians or would be inconsistent with the department's guidelines regarding the installation of bollards. The commissioner shall notify the council and mayor in writing of the reasons for such a determination.
