As the Haley Street Bridge Replacement Project continues its course, several traffic signs have been damaged (tossed, graffitied, knocked over, and dragged along the pavement).
Neighbors say that club/bar goers who cruise and park throughout West Downtown (to avoid checkpoints/parking lots) have been actively engaging in this type of illegal behavior since their inebriated state severely clouds their judgement. Unfortunately, this nuisance is twofold-disturbing the peace, and vandalism.
Although the police has been informed of this type of behavior, it's difficult to monitor, especially when there are so many bar/club goers on any given weekend to manage. In order to reduce and eradicate such vandalism episodes neighbors must keep alert and report suspicious activity.
