Zoning public notice sign, Takoma Park

DC doesn't do a very good job with public notices. Oh, they are posted, but there's a lot of type, and it's unclear what the matter is about. There are few calls to action. As far as mailed notices, the requirement is for properties located within 200 feet of the property. A typical block in the core of the city is 270 feet long.



And how about this, a sign posted on a thoroughfare (I was riding to the presentation last night by Dan Malouff of his transit vision for the Washington, DC region at the monthly meeting of the successful Action Committee for Transit advocacy group in Montgomery County, and I diverted to take some photos on the way).

How about that for public notice?
