[nndl] more signs?--brainstormingMaybe relatedat the intersection Ave F/55 (I would assume on the south-bound, entering the neighborhood), I think that the possibility for a future sign at 55th and Link should be eliminated, as it would post 2 signs basically right next to each other. gateway to the neighborhood…. (in addition to the sign already planned), I would suggest either 55th and Guadalupe (but then it would bee too close to the already scheduled nelray/Guadalupe), or….. that we do not need all of those signs (I mean, 24!!!) neighborhoods to buy playground toys for the church on ave F. our neighborhood does not have a playground, and it would be nice for little children in the neighborhood go play at the church (of course with its permission) age” myself, but I know of a number of families with little kids who can use this in the near future….. playground, rather than having to drive/bike all the way to Shipe park. for the triangle at bruning green. personally do not find them al that pretty….with the extra $600 something else can be done….
