Brett Wasserman lives near a low bridge in Westchester County that has seen 144 truck-collisions since 1997. People die, traffic is stalled, and some day, one of these trucks might be carrying chlorine or something equally harmful. The local government has refused to take action — preferably routing the trucks through a different neighborhood — so Brett has. He's erected a webcam in his apartment window that monitors the bridge 24/7, so that the whole world can watch the bridge play teamster-roulette. He sez:
Amazingly, after recording a few crashes and simply allowing the scene to be visible, there appears to be a major breakthrough. Apparently, mostly due to my embarrasing efforts, there is an new agreement between the NYS DOT and the local officials to totally reroute truck traffic within the dangerous area, as well as totally redoing the ridiculous and incorrect road signs.
