The all-powerful State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver’s solution to the extremely unsafe road in front of PS 276 was to have the DOT place a stop sign. Local resident and mother of a student at the school, Tammy Meltzer, and the rest of the Silver cronies on the CB1, cheered the move stating that a stop sign was actually preferred over a full traffic light.
