Sheepshead Bay Right Turn On Red Sign Missing

You may recall last week’s article about the confusing sign at Neptune Avenue and Cass Place allowing right turns on red. As of Monday morning the sign was missing in action. We’re not sure if the sign was upset by our article and decided to leave for greener pastures or if it was stolen by some prankster. Another possibility is the sign fell down due to damage; in fact last week the sign was swinging loose in the rain because the bottom rivet broke. Looking for answers Sheepshead Bites contacted Community Board 15 for some answers. They told us, “The sign was not removed by DOT. DOT will replace it as soon as possible.” While we wait for Brooklyn Borough Engineer to get back to us on what a “School Day” means we asked CB15 Chairperson Theresa Scavo for her opinion. According to Scavo, “It is meant to mean Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., September to June.” She goes on to say that the sign is mostly intended for weekend drivers.

    Speaking of Theresa Scavo, did anyone notice how awful the design of http://high-waydemocrats.com was? Could use some WordPress love.

    In other words, the sign is meant to tell driver when they are allowed to make the turn.

    Perhaps the sign should be more explicit in that fashion.

    Speaking of the Kings County Democrats — Are they democrats?

    From their website….

    OUR PHILOSOPHY

    The High-Way Democrats are composed of
    conservative-minded and independent individuals
    whose political philosophy might accurately be
    framed as following the concepts espoused by one of
    America’s greatest Presidents, Ronald Reagan. We
    believe in a strong national defense, small
    government, capitalism, taking personal
    responsibility for one’s actions, lower taxes; and
    selection of individuals for any position based on
    merit, fitness and competency.

    We believe in traditional family values and the
    equality of all Americans regardless of their race,
    gender, age, political and sexual preferences. If you
    share our philosophy of tolerance and diversity you
    are most welcome.

    They don’t sound like democrats to me.
