One of my seven hundred pet peeves is signage in the parks. Back in 2013, when I was trying to save the miniature dam by the Robin Hood Bridge in Lehigh Parkway, the then park director said he'll demolish the dam, but they could put up a sign with picture of what it looked like.
Signs have become fashionable now in our park system. Years ago we maintained the parks as designed, and the beauty spoke for itself. The beauty is still there, but now it has to struggle against stupid policies.
The small trash can shown above is the only one on the end of the park near the Rose Garden ponds. Very often by Sunday afternoon it is overflowing. While common sense would suggest that more trash containers are in order, I no longer expect common sense. I can only hope that the park department hires a consultant to make that recommendation.
