Letter: Signs gone again Kerry Robertson writes: I noticed on Friday that the Yield signs are gone again from the Jamestown and Campbellsville Streets.

That has to be cheaper than replacing signs once a month. 2024-04-30 11:12:22 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
