The Face of Our Town


There's something ironic here: The "Adopt a Highway" signs only add to the ugliness of the Rt 1 & 410 intersection -- and it would appear the volunteers aren't keeping up with what they signed on to do.

This is a tough intersection, given the long-vacant corner site which may someday be a Wachovia Bank. If it's the SHA's job to maintain, though, the fact that the property is vacant wouldn't seem to me to relieve them of their job to keep the edges of the streets and sidewalks looking nice.

Look what I found! SHA says they are replacing the 17-year old Adopt-a-Highway sings with new ones.

Also says the volunteer groups are supposed to clean up litter 4 times a year.

I'm still scouring the site for mention of how often SHA should get rid of unsightly weeds and pretty things up a bit.
