The city has been looking abroad for ideas to protect its infrastructure from future Hurricane Sandys, and officials presented a range of ideas to the community last night: inflatable subway plugs, a flood-wall system that can be bolted to the sidewalk, protected subway entrances, earthen sea walls, and more. But many were skeptical. "The MTA can't even pick up their trash to prevent track fires," said one climate change expert, "so I'm not exactly sure how we're going to retrofit the entrances of stations to be flood proof."
