#TakomaPark monthly check: still a city "equity walk" that uses QR codes; only folks with smart phones can walk the walk; it's inherently inequitable.

Hard fix: replace instructions and QR codes on yard signs with the content the codes lead to.

Easy fix: remove the equity walk. In Takoma Park, Maryland, view from Philadelphia Avenue of tCloseup of the yard sign, including the text "The Takom
#TakomaPark monthly check: still detour signs around the northbound, closed-to-traffic lane of Laurel Avenue.

#TakomaPark monthly check: still no "local traffic only" sign on Winding Hill Way alley to Flower.

#TakomaPark Monthly check: still a "no thru traffic" sign at the foot of Winding Hill Way.

The city having made a $17,000 payoff to allow through traffic, this sign really ought to go.
