: : : What the hell is the deal with all the signs and white posts along the rail trail in Kittanning?!!
: : : Take a trip from Pollocks up to Kevin's Meats and look at this EYESORE! It's like they tried to see how many they could put up. All that's missing is a "Caution: Sign Ahead" sign.
: : : The trail itself is great, but those signs and posts have got to go!!!
: : What do the signs & posts say??
: I'm not sure what all of them say, but there are way too many of them. For instance at some of the intersections there are 2 stop signs for the trail, 2 stop signs for the street (right next to the one's for the trail), 6 big white posts, countless little white reflector posts, then there are other signs for other things.
: They look terrible and are not neccessary. People have been walking along there for as long as I can remember, even back when the tracks were still there. Nobody's ever been ran over. And anyone who doesn't know enough to watch out for cars probably can't read a stop sign anyhow.
: That trail is supposed to be a plus for the community...but as far as appearance goes, it is a huge minus.
If you don't know what they say, then there is probably a reason for them being there. Some people think the pedestrian has the right of way, too bad everyone can't read.
