After many years of delays, millions of dollars spent, tens of thousands of residents and visitors inconvenienced this is the signage that appears at Nieman Road and Shawnee Mission Parkway. Photos were taken today but the signage has been there for quite some time now.
Who approved it? Somebody had to sign off on it. I would have asked our overpaid neophyte city manager but he has a history of not responding with clear, specific answers. Tijuana two stepping is his modus operandi.
Anyway, here are the pics, day and night. You can click on the images below to load a larger view.
Note that in the day image, from a distance, it is difficult to read "Shawnee". Try it for yourself. Drive by and see if you can read it clearly.
The evening picture is wild. Those LEDs look like a bad string of Christmas tree lights. One member of the community told me he thought that it looked like the wording on a marquee for a gentleman's club. Check it out for yourself some evening.
