Title: New Brownlee Woods Neighborhood sign
Post by: john r. swierz on May 29, 2010, 04:12:36 PM


  The new Brownlee Woods sign that was just installed on Sheridan Blvd. Becomes a victim of a "hit and run". Some time between 9:30 am and 2:30pm someone ran over the sign and broke part of the sign and one post.

This kind of stuff is so disappointing - here you have a neighborhood that
has residents, ie: stake holders; who take pride in where they live and
some assinine [sp?]  bastard with no respect for others has to come along and
ruin the sign.

I hope they catch this person, and force them to replace the sign and
do community service for what they've done.

What about some landscaping around the sign that includes a few very large boulders?

How about public punishment for the vandal?

Do you need help moving the stones into place?  I don't have any equipment to haul, but could provide muscle when they are placed.

Personally, I like the stocks idea!

Patti Dougan was telling me that the boulder idea would work. We just need to set a time to do this. However, the poles are broken and the back of the sign is damaged so this will take some $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ (where's Tony Lariccia when you need him?). This was an $1100 sign paid for by the 7th Ward Citizens Coalition, Inc., private citizens and Wean Foundation grant monies. It was installed with volunteer labor and along with 4 other signs, was a 2 year project. We are also asking if the hit and run driver doesn't come forward that s/he donate money anonymously to our 7WCC post office box.

Chris Travers was interviewed on Channel 33 this morning about this.

Was the sign hit from the front or back?

  I would think from the side, but I am not 100% sure
