In the ongoing saga regarding the No Street Parking signs in Stoneybrook, at least we finally know one fact. SB residents doled out $7,000 for the 12 signs that some people now doubt should ever have been installed. Trutwin Custom Signs of Fort Myers built and installed the signs that were put up throughout Stoneybrook. The signs eliminate all street parking, at any time, for residents in that community.
After several meetings and multiple e-mails neither the Stoneybrook HOA or the Gateway CDD has been able to determine who was behind getting the signs approved and installed. Both are also confused over which code was and should have been followed to install the signs. And, Tetra Tech, the CDD's wildly over-budget engineer says it prepared a memo for the district on May 21st about the signs. When I requested the memo from District Manager Brian Lamb and Supervisor Ed Sichel, neither of them had any such memo.
New Stoneybrook board member John Jack wants the signs taken down and says the CDD should pay that expense. Of course my answer to that is kiss my big right butt cheek Jacko. They are your signs. Someone in a position of power in Stoneybrook got together with the CDD and put pressure on someone at the CDD to install the signs. And, they were installed without the proper CDD board resolution which nobody seems to vare about in the least. The rest of us had nothing to do with that decision. So, either keep your signs up or pay to have them removed yourself and leave the rest of us out of it.
