So a little piece of string is supposed to protect you from cars?

Anchored concrete pylons. They won’t look pretty but they’ll end the problem.
Can’t be stolen and they’ll end the issues with at least cars/trucks and give bikers/walkers/runners much-needed safety.

It’s cold and dreary out today. Easy to be negative. Considering the poverty in Philadelphia and it being such a massively large city, I think we do ok. I say we because the city is just your neighbors. You pay them with tax dollars to do the things you can’t. Some of them are bad employees, like any business. Think 77, Sunny, low humidity and enjoying your favorite band in concert at the Mann. Pretty awesome.

I think you meant "if" the city chooses to fix something.

The only thing that’s over cars in this city is dirt bikes, good luck trying to enforce anything related to those

Maybe I'm over hopeful but even though they're just ropes, I'd assume running over them escalates a charge from a moving violation to destruction of city property. You'd really hope to see that have a psychological impact.

I don’t generally like to shit all over the city, particularly not when they actually do something.
But wtf is this?
Have our standards become so comically low that Home Depot rope stakes are the best we can muster to preserve one of the best features of Philadelphia?
How about rumble strips and concrete barriers? The universities and private schools that use the river for crew can contribute and in return they get to paint sections of the barriers. Set aside some barriers for local schools and charities to paint. Sell the remaining ones to the Eagles, Phillies, Comcast, IBEW, B101, and so on.
Now we’re stopping cars from driving on the grass, we’ve got a cool new mural wall that’s representative of the city, and it’s mostly paid for.
Not a perfect idea but it certainly beats this half-assed attempt.
