Posting neighborhood maps on signal boxes possibly could provide a useful 
service to those unfamiliar with an area. If these maps indicated the 
location of businesses, churches, and other such things, I would use them.

This is a project that individuals, block clubs, and neighborhood groups 
could undertake to fund, implement and maintain themselves. There is no 
need expend tax dollars on this or neighborhood kiosks. Where the City may 
need to become involved is removing the restrictions preventing private 
individuals and entities from undertaking this task.

Provided that the cost is reasonable, I would donate money and volunteer 
time to post neighborhood maps and erect kiosks in areas that I frequent, 
such as Lyn-Lake or Uptown.
