I just spotted this sign. Let's see how long it will take before the sign is repaired.
Saturday, my mom and I were heading north on South Ave toward the I-680 entrance. We happened to start looking for street signs and couldn't see any. Did we miss them, or are they really not there?
If they aren't there, is it possible that they are being broken/removed/defaced on purpose, so that the police have a more difficult time finding where they need to go?
Your assessment seems right on target. We thought the mangled signs were just kids being destructive.
Someone took the no parking signs from our street - apparently so they could park on both sides.
Many street signs are also missing along Mount Vernon on the southeast side of Youngstown.
Some years ago, we saw what appeared to be suburban kids running to their car with one of our local street signs in hand. I have often wondered if Youngstown Street Signs are considered prized tokens of late night visits to the inner city.
Have any block watches reported the theft of street signs?
Please tell me someone called the city sign shop at (330) 743-1494 to get those fixed? It might take a while but at least they will aware and it will get fixed eventually.
