Typical Mr. Fudge asking questions, but not taking answers because he thinks he knows better than everyone else.  To me, if one of the large fire trucks encounters difficulties navigating Chinatown's streets and the curb "Improvements" are responsible, Mr. Fudge and the Mayor should be personally liable the next time there's a fire and HFD has difficulties responding quickly.  Has the city even tested this?  My guess is the answer is no, so the only way to test it would be when lives are potentially on the line.  SMH!
