So the do not enter signs at the bottom of Undercliff lasted exactly a week before vandals took them down.

Here is the scoop. Undercliff is a two way street from South Broadway to the entrance to the parking lot for the apartment buildings on South Broadway. Past the entrance it is one way down hill. At this juncture there were two of those steel street sign posts (you know, the angle steel kind with bold hole every inch or so, not the round kind) that have a “Do Not Enter” sign and a “Road Closed” sign attached to them. There were holes bored in the road surface and the posts were merely placed in the bored out holes. That is, there was no concrete put in the holes to hold the signs in place. All the vandals had to do was pull the posts out of the holes and throw the signs in the weeds by the side of the road. So as of 7:25 AM this morning the signs are there, they’re just not up.

I called the Mayor’s help line yesterday to let them know and, shockingly, the maintenance department did not rush right out to put them back up. Would you mind calling them (337 HELP)? Perhaps if more than one cranky person calls we might see some action.

Please, do call. I did. You may also want to call Councilman Robertson at 914 377-6313.
