Who's The Slob At City Hall?

Sometime within the past few weeks, our DPW installed 2 new signs (including new poles) where no signs had existed, on Warren and on South 6th Street.  The signs, both meant to prevent parking, were erected along yellowed curbs (and one already with a handicap parking symbol on the pavement) that any reasonable driver would recognize as NO PARKING ZONES.  It's difficult to regard the signs as critical, or even necessary, but DPW (or Shane Bower, perhaps) felt they were needed.

Meanwhile, our DPW continues to ignore important but unreadable and disgusting signs on South 7th Street in the business district.  Apparently, Robert Perry feels that these signs -- missing letters, missing entire words and covered in slime for years -- don't need replacing or any attention at all.  They combine for a great look and are really helpful, aren't they?  A city on the upswing and on the mend!!!  

Another sign that something
is amiss at City Hall!

Is that slime mold?  Is DPW trying for the
zombie apocalypse look?

You issued me a $25 parking ticket on Monday
 night for parking in a NO PARKING ZONE
 in front of a sign that has been
 unreadable for years?

I reported on these same signs back in February of 2023, almost a year ago.  They were just as ugly, unreadable and moldy then.  In other words, just as unworthy of DPW's attention then as they are now.
