Ms. Edmonds called in, b/c there is a red reflector sign at the North end of Wilton Drive that was knocked over by a City recycling truck a year ago, and it now leans over with growth completely covering it. Because it's completely obscured, she feels it doesn't work like it's supposed to to keep people from going past that point. She would like to see the sign put back up where it belongs, and the growth cut down and cleared away.
