South Milwaukee, WI - Funded by a city ordinance that has raised sales taxes by a quarter of a percent, city departments have started posting signs around the city that residents have dubbed "signs of the obvious."Surprisingly, few city residents oppose the obvious signage that has been springing up throughout the city. "These signs can only make our city safer," says one resident.
The new signs include those listed below, some of which are out on the streets and others which are in the final stages of manufacture:
- MONDAY GARBAGE WILL BE PICKED UP ON MONDAY
- AVOID ONCOMING TRAFFIC: KEEP RIGHT
- SIDEWALKS ARE FOR WALKING
- 24 HOUR POLICE HOTLINE OPEN 24 HOURS
City officials were hard-pressed to provide details on what the intended effect of the new sign initiative is. "We just want people to know stuff," city councilpersons all agreed.
