UPDATE: Electronic Device Appears Mysteriously on Bayport Stop Sign

There's a camera-looking antenna and equipment box secured to bottom of sign.

The electronic device attached to one of the stop signs at the four-way stop at McConnell Road and Seaman Avenue in Bayport is a traffic monitoring device and not a 'red light' camera to catch drivers blowing stop signs.

Several Patch readers wrote in noting a YouTube video about the device.

But who put it there and why remains a mystery.

Patch gave a call to county officials and has not yet heard back.

Meanwhile Patch grabbed a few shots. The company listed on the electronics box is Miovision and calls to them were not immediately returned.

Stay turned as Patch hopes to solve this mystery soon.

And so the taxpayer is once again asked to give more to an already out of control and bloatedRead More system. Every year the school districts on Long Island receive increases of millions of dollars to their budgets, and still they want to bleed the taxpayer for more. As two income families struggle to pay exorbitant tax bills, we’re asked to pay even more? We’ll here’s a novel idea, how about if the teachers union’s began demanding less? This early retirement baloney must stop, salaries should be capped, administrators and their staffs must be cut by at least eighty percent. In addition, educators and staff should have to pay for their own medical and retirement plans just as the rest of us must. Here on Long Island, families are suffering and sacrificing, and many are being forced to leave due to taxes which are out of control. It is time for educators to cease hiding behind children with threats of decreased student programs, and to make an honest and realistic observation as to why things are as bad as they are. To blame parents for not paying enough into the system to support the schools is ludicrous. The real problem lies in a system which is self serving, and run by incompetents blind to the harm they are inflicting upon our children and families.

It's a drive-through bank.

I heard it was a bank some time ago, but I can't imagine which bank would run a construction projectRead More so poorly.
