Unnoticed?

To the Editor:

On a nearby street, a stop sign has been badly defaced. Someone smeared paint all over it, making its message almost illegible. It’s common, especially at night, for cars to drive past the sign without stopping since it isn’t obvious to the unwary.

This traffic signal has been in this deplorable state for several years. You wonder why it hasn’t been replaced, or at least cleaned off to make it presentable, if not readable. Perhaps it requires that someone in authority notice its condition.

One person who might be in a position to eye the sore spot is the mayor, who lives several doors down from the blemished sign on Atlantic Avenue.  He must drive through and past it every day when he leaves for work at City Hall. But maybe mayors aren’t required to stop at traffic signs, so he doesn’t notice their deterioration. Guess we’ll have to look for more perceptive politicians.
