I recently returned after a month’s absence to find the temporary detour, “road closed” and “expect delay” notices still on every approach to Winslow.

Placing and moving these easel-mounted signs must be a burden on our city employees and the construction workers.

In the interests of economy and truth in advertising, I recommend we instead erect permanent construction zone signs.

A permanent sign has a useful life of about a decade, so they would have to be replaced only once or twice pending completion of the Winslow Way improvement project.
