Thank you. I found the answer to one of my questions about the bollards. Apparently, in a huge timing fail, they were in the process of being replaced. 🙁
I read another article that said they were being upgraded for the Superbowl (and obviously Mardi Gras) but they felt the vehicle barricades would be sufficient. He went up on the sidewalk to bypass the police barricades.

Very sad all around.
