"Thank you "


          

To whomever is cleaning South Aurora and South Denver.

My wife and I are always noticing signs with numbers cut out.
Saw a CAUSS notice stuck to a freestanding sign at I-225 northbound off-ramp at 6th Ave. Guy in truck behind us was reading it!

At I-225 and Iliff we saw entire signs cut away except for remaining vertical strip the width of the street sign post.

Also have seen numbercut signs at various other places in south Metro area.

We take the whole sign.
Next best is the strip on the street sign post. The yellow strips at first look like safety reflectors!
Then the illegal sign poster realizes his signs have been cut off.

Wish I could find something useful to do with these Corplast signs.
Any ideas? (While working on plumbing and wiring in our crawl space, I have used them to sit and kneel upon.)

Friend say I'm proof that Intelligent Design is incorrect?!

Hi:

Glad to see that
a) the street spam is being dealt with and
b) that people are reading CAUSS stickers that someone put up on illegal signs.

Please (everyone), do your part to clean up your corners!

As for what to do with used coroplast, it is too difficult to recycle - the Texas folks checked into that a few years ago. Search the forum for 'recycle coroplast'.

Take care, be safe!

I have placed some signs on my dirt crawl space and have used them to cover air vents from the crawlspace to outside.

Cuts down on the cold air blowing in, but still allows some "breathing".

Wife and I are still seeking uses for the signs.

I still completely remove signs. Have had to leave many because the signal changed before I had a chance to run out, take them and throw them in the back as I get in my vehicle.

I think the best approach at an intersection or highway off-ramp is that if you see illegal signs, pull over to the right side, switch on the flashers, and carefully get out and remove them. You will typically miss one light cycle, which is not too bad in the scheme of things.

When I am driving, as soon as I see a sign, I grab it and then stay in the right lane from that point on - because I am probably on a spammer's route.

Be safe!

Let me echo "The Cleaner", I have seen slashed signs in NW Denver since last summer and apparently it is catching on. I always completely remove the signs, however the slashed ones remain to inform drivers that someone is doing something about the problem. It is especially important as spring approaches, because Denver has such nicely landscaped roadsides (Arvada and Westminster anyway) that ugly signs really detract from the view.

So thanks again!
