Below is a little background on the subject, in case you needed a little, and including some "context" from RC on how we got to this point. Thanks Mike From: Carter, Ronald E Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2009 7:47 AM To: Hollibaugh, Mike P; Brainard, James C Cc: Haney, Douglas C Subject: RE: Letter to Redirections Mike: It appears that neither the Mayor or Doug Haney has provided you with any details on this matter to enable you to write the letter. While I am not surprised, I am chagrined. About two months ago, on a Sunday afternoon, I was driving east on 131 st at Town Road when I saw an SUV parked on our multi -use path at the southwest corner of the intersection. It was facing west on the east bound path. Attached to the SUV was a steel frame trailer loaded with metal real estate development signs. The driver of the SUV was picking up the twenty or so signs that were clustered around that quadrant of the intersection. He had, I presume, decided that the safest way for him to pick up the signs was to drive over the tree lawn and onto the multi -use path. I would also presume that he did the same for each of the corners and that he did so to put them up. Those paths are not made for the weight of that combination. Nor is the grass tree lawns intended to be his access to the path if that is what he is doing. The fact that Redirections finds it needs to drive on our multi -use paths in order to not tie up traffic while they put these illegal signs in our public ROW is one more reason why the ordinance needs to be strictly enforced. I was told the City Attorney was going to write the letter. If your department is to be the author then, at least, copy the City Attorney on it. Best regards, Ron Ronald E.
