#TakomaPark monthly check: @RideOnMCT bus stop sign on Piney Branch Road still leaves the "Takoma" out of the destination of Route 15, showing just "Langley T.C."

@RideOnMCT #TakomaPark monthly check: four @RideOnMCT bus stop signs on Houston Avenue misidentify the destination of Route 25; it is "Takoma/Langley T.C."

@RideOnMCT #TakomaPark monthly check: still stray apostrophes in signs at the head and foot of the Opal Daniels Park Trail, undermining this effort to honor Opal Daniels.

@RideOnMCT #TakomaPark monthly check: still old-style historic district signs at Tulip and Willow and on Sycamore near Columbia.

@RideOnMCT #TakomaPark monthly check: historic district sign facing the wrong way on Sycamore Avenue, marking the end rather than the beginning of the district.

Per Street View, the sign was turned 180 degrees some time between 2012 and now.

#TakomaPark monthly check: still a "safe block" sign on Sycamore near Columbia.

#TakomaPark monthly check: still a "do not block intersection" sign at Sycamore and Columbia; it might lead drivers to believe that it is okay to block other intersections.

Fix: remove the sign.

#TakomaPark monthly check: still a "slow dangerous intersection" sign on Sycamore near Elm.

Posting the sign does not eliminate the danger of the intersection.

Fix: make the intersection safe.

Option: close the intersection to vehicles.

#TakomaPark monthly check: for-rent sign on Carroll Avenue still includes the text "across street from BB&T drive thru," still places the property in northwest Washington, D. C. (by virtue of a "NW" address).

(There's no drive thru; the property is in Maryland.)

#TakomaPark monthly check: "convenient to transportation" sign at Parkview Towers still shows a three-door, non-articulated bus not used anywhere that's convenient.

And...there's only one tower.

#TakomaPark monthly check: still a wooden frame of an abandoned billboard blighting Sligo Creek Trail at the site of the abandoned Washington @AdventistHC Hospital.

@AdventistHC #TakomaPark monthly check: still "Founded 1907" signs at the site of the abandoned Washington @AdventistHC Hospital.

@AdventistHC #TakomaPark monthly check: and last (and least) for today, still nonsensical, antecedent-free "all others towed at owners expense and risk" signs on parking structure at site of abandoned Washington @AdventistHC Hospital.
