Bigger, more readable street signs
Install larger street name signs so drivers can easily read which street they are on.

The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
I would like to see better and bigger street signs. Driving is difficult enough here without knowing what street you are on; to be driving looking for a street sign, just to realize that the street sign is too small to read.
Who it helps and why
I am not sure how this project advances social and racial equity but at least it will be easy to locate the street name(s).
