Replacement Platoon

6PM and the new platoon of Cones on the BRB are taking their place. Late this afternoon there were none standing, a tribute to the aim and daring of drivers on Barry Road. Two different close call tales were related t0 me today by two different drivers.

Different subject, same theme...the East Side Drive Bridge is now open and the detour is over, to cheers from our East side pals.

Speaking of detour, I guess now that the detour does not lead past the 9/11 house, the fun is over. My swing past the house this afternoon revealed no signs...just another WL sleepy neighborhood...

And all is well with the world.

The new bridge situation is very dangerous. I yield to traffic on the bridge. However, many drivers don't. It is particularly aggravating to wait for several cars to clear the bridge, and then when trying to cross myself, here comes a car from the other direction at 45 miles an hour that does not yield. The result is 2 cars on the bridge at the same time, and with the orange cones, it is not as wide as it once was. In the short run, KC needs to remove the cones. It only makes things more dangerous.
