For years, a welcome sign visible from the Causeway and located at the southern entrance to Cedar Bonnet Island drew attention to the smaller side of the inhabited sedge island as many motorists sped by on their way to Long Beach Island. The sign is gone, taken down years ago when the project to expand and rehab the Causeway began, and lost to time.

It’s that project, or at least a portion of that project, that has left some residents of the area feeling lost and concerned.
