As Carlton Avenue Bridge proceeds toward completion, a "September is Just the Beginning" banner waves nearby

The reconstruction of the Carlton Avenue Bridge, which has to be open before the Barclays Center arena opens on Sept. 28, is nearly finished.
But even before it's done, a "September is Just the Beginning" banner appears down the block on Carlton Avenue, right above a sign that announced the bridge closing, which began in January 2008.
Yes, there are banners on Carlton Avenue, even though they mysteriously appeared and were removed within 24 hours on equally residential Dean and Pacific streets.
What's going on? We don't really know, and we're still waiting for the Barclays Center Community Affairs Manager to be hired, so there's no single point person for the arena.
NoLandGrab: Forest City Ratner promised in January 2008 that the bridge would be closed for just two years. That was four years and nine months ago.
