<DIV> It is also not a legal document showing ware the towns boundaries are.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Though, the main question here is why the citizens of the town of Riverdale Park were not informed about this situation, i.e. transparency in government.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also, </DIV>
<DIV>no matter why the sign was removed, there should be at least some kind of temporary indicator of our official border, especially considering the issues concerning the Cafritz property.</DIV>

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.
