The water highway traffic sign

Mr Leo S. Levy has been kind enough to send this photo that he took of the landing and the blue sign almost exactly ten years ago. The blue sign used to be green! The Waterford waterfront has gone through major upgrading since then, and the green sign has been replaced. He also sent a note:

I see that your new blog post includes a photo of one of my favorite traffic signs -- at the confluence of the Hudson and Mohawk. Attached is a closer-up view that I took on 7/13/02. It appears from the color of the sign in your photo that the sign has been replaced or refurbished in the 10 years since I took my photo from the northern shore of Peebles Island (where, by the way, the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation has a large facility in one of the old shirt factories that provides preservation and restoration services for items from NYS historic sites).

Feel free to post the attached photo (and the above comment) if you like.

Leo

Wait a minute Leo, you couldn't have taken that from Peebles Island. You must have been standing in Lansingburg and surely you must have had an impressive telephoto lens. Here's a closeup from the photo in the article of the landing and the blue sign today:

The new sign appears to have moved to a slightly different location. But now we have Rochester on the sign, and no speed limit.
