I write today about several street signs that are covered in some sort of brownish-looking muck.  I don't remember all the names, but I imagine most of you have seen them.  Tulane,

Aliso, Mornsingside are three of them.  They are on the south-east side at the intersection of Coal.  Not only must they make it difficult for people who are looking for these street names, but they're an out-and-out eye sore.

If I may virtue-signal a bit, I've written to the city, to the editor of the Albuquerque Journal, and to Mayor Keller.  Not hearing back from them...absolute *crickets," in fact...I called 311...twice.  The latest I was told was that someone had been "dispatched" to the "sites" and that the city would replace the signs, but no time line was given.

In light of the above, may I urge everyone to call 311 and to keep making the same request; namely either to get the signs cleaned or to replace them?  That they've remained in this condition for as long as they have is both an embarrassment as well as a hazard, not to mention that they ever got into this condition in the first place.    

I realize that I'm probably not the first person to bring this up...at least, I hope I"m not...and if anybody else has any ideas, please suggest them.  Would this be appropriate, for example, to bring up to the city council?

Thanks.

Sincerely,
