THE ICONIC CROTON DUMMY LIGHT, JULY 4, 2024---click on the photo. 

The village is home to one of a handful operating "dummy lights" in the United States, located downtown at the intersection of Old Post Road South and Grand Street. It is a traffic signal on a pedestal which sits in the middle of an intersection, dating back to the 1920s. Another active dummy light located in New York State is at Beacon. The one in Canajoharie was removed in 2021.

The blog has received lengthy commentary from someone who was quite misinformed on the specifics regarding the lawsuit against the Croton-Harmon School district, their DEI policies, etc. It is suggested that the writer instead consider broadening their reading to recent articles and/or letters from the local papers (LoHud and The Gazette), as well as extensive coverage from The Post, World, etc.

The Croton Chronicle is also covering this issue extensively; here is the latest with links back to subsequent articles:
