Item 28 on the Nov. 21, 2005, council agenda asked the council to supply the city manager with recommended action on parking restrictions for our neighborhoods and the possible placement of street sweeping signs. The council correctly took the action to inform our citizens by notes, etc., on cars that are blocking the street sweepers. Can you imagine the cost at $200 per sign, not including installation labor, to place signs on all the streets of Mission Viejo! Additionally, think of the job security for the graffiti removers. In some cities, the largest part of their job is removing graffiti from signs. Can you imagine the blight of having two or three signs per block in order to enforce the ticketing process for such a ridiculous endeavor? Our streets would look like Santa Ana or Garden Grove in order to clean up a few leaves. The cost and blight of signs to our wonderful city is commonly called overkill. As with the trash pickup and recycling efforts, our citizens learn quickly and are smart enough to work with the city on this issue. James Edward Woodin |
