Re: Big Blue Sign Removal Information Thread

thanks for the info Dave. I just posted it in a bulletin on myspace for any Wa.Co. people who don't check Sowal. If I was home I'd definitely be there to protest or show support for changing them, and I'd love to see the hoards of angry Sowallers that show.:biggrin:

Re: Big Blue Sign Removal Information Thread

Thanks so much Pickle.

This is the initial meeting to get our point across to the TDC. The more folks who show up the better. Let's get it together SoWal!!! Wednesday morning is the day!! 9:00 A. M.

I spoke with Claire Bannerman an hour ago and she had just met with the Interim Director of the TDC, Sonny Mares. According to Claire he echoed the same position he gave me; lowering the signs or doing some planting around the bottoms. Also, the cost is going to be the TDC's main argument for keeping them. No matter what has been spent these signs just don't represent our beautiful road.

I believe we have to be united in our position that they must be all removed. This will open the door for the Scenic Corridor Advocacy group and other talented citizens to work with the TDC in a positive environment to create a fitting sign design for Scenic 30-A. There is no other option for the correct representation of Scenic 30-A

Dave, some of us can not attend a 9 a.m. meeting because of work schedules. Is there a way you could take copies of letters from those who can't be there...either because of work; or because they are not here physically...and present them to the TDC?

When I worked as a lobbyist I would often present my case, and then back it up with a "batch" of letters from others supporting my point of view. It usually had a pretty strong impact. This works even if people have written individually. Presenting the batch of letters/emails to the Chairman and asking that they be entered into the Official Record as well, is a strong visual.

Just a thought....

Great Idea. If you know someone who is going, pass the letters on to them or drop them off in an envelope at Bud & Alley's and I'll deliver them myself. Also emailing the TDC and copying the BCC is also helpful.
