[RP TownTalk] new sign in front of the Cafritz property on Rt. 1

[Melissa Avery]

I would like to quote a friend's take on our sign situation-


"Riverdale Park needs to re-install its sign as soon as possible in a location as prominent as the College Park sign.  It has a psychological effect when a "larger" entity throws its weight around and the smaller entity just yawns about it -- it sends a message of acceptance.   
If the College Park  sign stays up there all by itself, as the hearings on the Cafritz property go forward, there will be a greater feeling on the part of College Park  citizens that their voices are the only ones that should be listened to. " 

Anyone who has followed the progress of the hearings and opinions regarding the development of the property already know that the voices from College Park and University Park are far more organized and louder than the voices coming from Riverdale Park.

It is a shame that College Park is forcing us to move our sign, that we now have trim the brush, but we have a capable public works that I am sure, can take care of this in a timely manor.

Can you give us an idea when, and where we can see the city limits sign reinstalled ?

Dear friends and neighbors,

I just wanted to let those who were concerned about the signage along the northern boundary of the town know that two things happened more or less simultaneously, but completely independently.

College Park put up a new signs around its city boundaries, including the one with Riverdale Park along Route One.  

We took our sign down as the mounting had deteriorated and we are sprucing it up before putting it back where it belongs.

All town boundaries and property arrangements remain as they were and have been for many years--in particular the Cafritz property is in Riverdale Park. 

Best wishes,

Vern
