However, there is one thing that Stephenson and her husband don't like — the constant painting of the Sydney River trestle.The complex, which is off Keltic Drive, is close to the trestle and the Stephensons live in one of the units close by. Roestta LeFort points out her window of her Sydney River home to the trestle Sydney which is covered in paint of different colours, tags and scribbles."I think there's better ways they can express themselves," she said. NICOLE SULLIVAN/CAPE BRETON POSTMany of Stephenson's neighbours feel the same. The Cape Breton Post spoke to around 10 of them on Wednesday.
Last summer, LeForte said they did call the police about youth on the trestle dropping rocks onto Keltic Drive. And she said they have seen police cars respond to the area once this summer."My husband came in the other morning and he was really upset. He said, 'You should see what they have there now,'" said LeForte, who has lived in the seniors' complex with her husband for two years.
In the early years of the"tradition," the painting was primarily the solid metal squares of the trestle facing traffic driving into Coxheath. "It has escalated quite a bit over the years," Gillespie said, noting the year when the Keltic Drive and Coxheath Road were painted from the trestle to Riverview High School.
"There's nothing wrong with school spirit, but when you put profanity on an area where thousands of cars drive by every single day, that's just not acceptable."
