Don't know how others feel but I do not want any additional plastic cartoon
characters cluttering the neighborhood. It would quickly start to look
like a toddlers backyard. I do want a cohesive, respectful traffic calming
solution. I do not think that it is crying to the city agency responsible
for this. It is a minimum expectation.
There exists now a DDOT petition to sign: https://www.neighbors4ncave.com
Please consider signing.
