I began our inspection of street signs today – this is an outgrowth of our Safe Growth program, which began as an analysis of crime statistics that included Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) techniques and then turned toward an examination of the environment in the neighborhood. I began with streetlights, and in the last couple of years those were almost entirely replaced by LED lights, but along the way I started to notice that some street signs, which are often attached to streetlight poles, were looking pretty shabby. What I didn’t expect was what I found today: almost every street sign needs to be replaced!
These photos are some of the worst I spotted today, in a walk along Sargeant Street between Garden and Sigourney. Basically, two blocks. I’m not sure which counts as my favorite: the warning sign about construction ahead (there’s no construction, and there hasn’t been for years), or the three street signs on Huntington obscured from view by the new streetlight pole.
