Stop and Go Lego!

A creative idea put to work

Good morning Norwich,

Each and every school day , Henry arrives at the crosswalk with his caretaker and faithfully waits for me to stop the traffic, gets off his bike and safely walks with his bike across the street.

One day, this past week while working at the crosswalk, I had the most unexpected and pleasant surprise. After stopping the vehicles, I motioned for Henry to cross the street , however he remained still and waited on the sidewalk, at which time his caretaker said he wanted to speak with me. As I was summoned, I went over to speak with him. I asked Henry what he wanted to tell me and he said he made this stop sign for me , but wanted to keep it for himself as it was a special project.

Needless to say, I was flattered. Another day at the crosswalk.
