Ridgewood NJ, thanks to our pedestrian safety activist Frank Geraghty  for pointing out my suggestion to have dangerous sign removed from near center of sidewalk to curb located on Broad street near East Ridgewood avenue. The sign was removed today and a base for new sign placed just where he suggested at Kiosk, probably saving some weekend reveler from getting a dislocated shoulder.
Also,just around the corner on East Ridgewood avenue a blank sign that I also complained about which confused motorists was also removed today and replaced by a plastic cone. Hopefully a badly needed YIELD SIGN that I called for will be placed at that spot soon.
