Description

In June and again in August I reported a missing sign at the corner of Prospect and East Rock. Since the issue was closed and I hadn't seen a sign, I walked up to the corner and searched for the sign. Yes there is a sign, but it was placed on the southwest corner of the intersection in such a way that it is totally hidden by a tree from two of the three possible approaches to that corner. In other words, it is not visible heading west on East Rock Road or heading south on Prospect. There is a wooden utility pole on the northeast corner of that intersection that is perfectly visible from all directions. That pole still has the brackets from an older sign. Can't the signs be moved so they are visible in all directions? What good are signs that cannot be seen?
