After a city council vote Wednesday, Atlantic City will repaint the Black Lives Matter tribute which confused drivers on the street.
Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small said the 2020 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard street mural honoring Black Lives Matter would be repainted smaller, due to driver confusion caused by its massive yellow lettering. “It was an oversight on our part, and when we realized it, we fixed it,” Small said Thursday.
During the Wednesday night meeting, Acting Police Chief James Sarkos told the council the mural violated state Department of Transportation regulations, forcing them to close the street to prevent accidents. City Council member LaToya Dunston accused the city of wasting tax dollars without knowing the rules that govern such projects.
The mural was the result of a September 2020 community event, in which volunteers donated paint, materials, and their own time to cover that section in block letters reading “BLACK LIVES MATTER.” The mural was a compromise between city officials and activists who wanted to paint it on the Atlantic City Boardwalk, meant to avoid further conflict during the racial justice riots following the death of George Floyd last summer.

I like to ask, “Whose life DOESN’T matter ?”
Atlantic City To Spend $36,000 To Repaint BLM-Marxist Street Tribute After Driver Confusion Much to the Chagrin of the Black Activists and Their Hamas Political Cadre.
Does this mean black lives don’t matter anymore and the slobs running the NAACP wannabe will have to stop their whining and get REAL jobs?
“ City Council member LaToya Dunston accused the city of wasting tax dollars without knowing the rules that govern such projects.”
I’m very surprised that she cares, but happy that some folks pay attention.
“..Acting Police Chief James Sarkos told the council the mural violated state Department of Transportation regulations...”
If blue between a double yellow is a DOT no-no then I don’t see how massive letters curb to curb that hide street markings the length of the block isn’t.

Paint it over entirely. It’s unauthorized grafitti...
This is a perfect reason why one should never enter Atlantic City (out of basic principle and reasons of personal safety), and never spend money with an Atlantic City-based business.
Big Lying Marxists?
Black Lives DON’T MATTER as much , now that Biden and the Socialists are in power!! They USED the blacks to get their votes and chaos!
No, it just means black lives matter less.
>>I like to ask, “Whose life DOESN’T matter ?”
Wyppl
black fetuses and any unwanted children
Liberals will tell you this, off the record
Maybe they’ll rename themself to “Black Born Lives Matter”.
Cuz unborn black lives don’t mean chit to them.

Yep. Hispanic (17%) and H-1b immigrants outnumber blacks (13%) significantly, and their numbers grow. And they mostly work and are productive = tax PAYERs.
Blacks are in for a rude awakening soon. Wish I could conjure some pity for them, but I cannot — their attitudes, mouths and misbehaviors prevent it.
Did it cost that much to put it there? Were the voters/public told the cost of this before it was done?
Paint that can’t be painted over? I gotta get me some. That’ll stop those graffiti “artists”, huh?
“ Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small said the 2020 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard street mural honoring Black Lives Matter would be repainted smaller”
Only Black Lives Matter still matters, but now less so?
I have no doubt Latoya can show us her prior public objections to this defacing of public property,
Do blacks really need to be pandered to like this? Paint a lame slogan on the street? I’ve passed through some of the neighborhoods and seen the graffiti, so maybe something like that that is of great importance to them. Pitiful.
