I recently filled in a comment form (on line) but these are available at mail boxes regarding the way the street signs are installed. Maybe I am off base, but below is what I sent in and the reply. From the reply, if you agree with me, lots more people need to contact CIC and express their opinions. CIC can be contacted by using the form, or electronically:

Item That Needs Attention: All cross street locations along, for example Pinellas Place. The existing placement of the Pinellas Place street name tends to block the view of the cross street name. While driving on Pinellas Place, the driver is looking for the cross street name, NOT the Pinellas Place street name.
Suggestion For Improvement: If the cross street name placard was placed on the side of the pole TOWARD Pinellas Place, instead of the existing side which is AWAY from Pinellas Place the cross street signs would be easy to see. NOTE: I used Pinellas Place as an example, this exists at many more locations in the villages.

David, thanks so much for this suggestion! Before construction began south of 466A, we had similar suggestions from residents south of 466 which were turned over to the developer thru channels. The response was that the street signs were erected as designed...... We will begin collecting remarks like yours for another run.
