Anti-car artist strikes again!
Last Friday around dawn, Red Hook's self-proclaimed "Traffic Stopper" made a second covert appearance. Under the glow of Van Brunt Street's yellow street lamps, an anonymous creator and nine helpers lugged the seven-foot-tall, bright green sculpture into the middle of the intersection of Sullivan Street and left it there, where it would be sure to disturb the flow of traffic. For some residents of Red Hook who woke up early last Friday and saw Traffic Stopper before cops removed it, the sculpture was a reminder of the growing pains being felt in the neighborhood as long-anticipated development projects, like Fairway and the Ikea being built on Beard Street, bring more cars and people to its quiet, cobblestone streets. Like a campaign sign clutched by a sleepy activist, the green cone carried a message in its wordless, early morning appearance.
