Sign Request - It Works!

Recently we posted how you can request a sign if you know of one that looks like the one above. We requested one for Chester off Church Ave and just wanted everyone to know it worked! We got a call from Jack at Sanitation to confirm the request then a follow up call from a supervisor letting us know it had been replaced. For full disclosure the sign was not exactly replaced but a decal taped over the existing sign. We're ok with that. To do it yourself follow the directions below.

You can request a sanitation sign here (http://www.nyc.gov/html/mail/html/maildos.html )Select 'complaint', then 'sign requests'
Fill out at least your first name, last name and email address.
Request sign(s) in the message box.

Need a new sign? Make a request!

Need a new sign? If your street signs are unreadable b/c of graffiti or simply faded, like the one above on Chester, you can request a new one on-line! (We made a request to replace the one above!)

Our Signs...

Following up on our recent post on getting some new signs in these here parts (compared to NoVo Slope!). Above you'll find a lovely 'curb your dog' sign in Kensington. We would say it needs some updating! How exactly do you expect people to obey the laws when the signs showing these laws are illegible. Marty, Bill, Jim.... are you listening?

Signs, Signs Everywhere NEW Signs - Not Here!

We spotted these shiny new beauties further west off 4th Ave in that NoVo Slope section. We're pretty sure most owners know the laws but we sure don't think some new ones could hurt. Which leads me to wonder why its so darn hard to get some updating around these parts? First we noticed the classy new bus stop hubs popping up further west then these signs... We've gotten a few of those coveted covered cans but god forbid the city start further west and work its way up. *Sigh* It sucks we have to pen a letter to Marty, Brennan and Bill every time we realize we're being ignored. Just once we'd like to see a little movement in these parts without publicly calling out to the officials.

Its now that we'd like to remind you ... Dahill Neighborhood Assoc. is meeting Weds. evening at PS 230 Annex at 8. Go! Ask for signs and some freakin' garbage cans... maybe even tell your neighbors to start a tree planting campaign. (We'll post some of our 'clean up after your dog' signs tomorrow so you can see the difference).
