<DIV>Thank you Sarah for the maps. I was hoping you would post that.
Now, in looking at the maps, it appears that our boundary with CP is just south
of Abion (sp?) Rd which is where I always thought it was and where our old sign
was. So, now I wonder why the PW Director, Mr. Stampff, CP, wrote to
Michelle and told her our old sign was off by more than 150 yards. I hope
we get our sign back up there quickly. I will volunteer to Plant the
flowers, any helpers? Audrey</DIV>

Hey, Guy, You were the Mayor when the sign went up (see info

What's your take? Tell us where<BR>> our Northern boundary is,

the<BR>>> regional postal facility. This past spring College Park
purchased and<BR>>> installed new city gateway signs at all entrances to
the City of College<BR>>> Park. We, at that time double checked
the boundary lines with the actual<BR>>> sign locations. We
learned that the old Riverdale sign was over 50 yards<BR>>> inside of
College Park territory. Therefore, I contacted Riverdale
Park<BR>>> about them removing their sign, which was done. Our new
gateway sign is<BR>>> 100% new, concrete footing, metal post and
sign. The old Riverdale Park<BR>>> sign is in Riverdale
somewhere. We would not remove another town’s sign<BR>>> without
first talking to them. We are neighbors and cooperate with
