Re: Big Blue Sign Removal Information Thread
Ok, the day I posted that the sign was gone I did see a work crew attaching chains to the bases to pull them out. I did not see the sign itself. One of the bases, the bay-most one, was torqued such that it would make sense that the sign was struck by a vehicle. I just didn't want to start any speculation on the fate of the sign, but since it has been stated that it was hit, I figured I'd fill in my eye-witness statement.
I finally remembered to look for the remains of the missing sign from the 331 bridge. The signs are supposed to be break away signs, I'm guessing for safety reasons. However, there is not any evidence remaining that a sign ever existing at that sign. If it was cemented in like the others, they would have needed a backhoe to dig that sucker out. I'm guessing that if a vehicle would have ran over the sign, knocking it down, the County wouldn't have removed the anchoring base of the sign, too. I'm guessing that there may be more to this story.
