Top Shelf Signs used to make a lot of ACT street/road signs. I think they’re a bit on the outer now because of the political leanings of the proprietors… It’s a shame, those guys could really spell!

I remember the old wooden street signs when I was a kid. Some of those were bizarre. For example when the sign for Clarkson St fell off/was swiped it was replaced by a sign where the name didn’t start until halfway along. It started at the normal width but had a very tight squeeze from the third letter to the end to fit it all in. How it was ever put up like that is a total mystery. The wooden signs were replaced by the current metal ones in the late 1970s.

Its one thing to pay a lot to receive a good service but for the amount we are paying the municipal services in this town are pathetic.

I posted three things to ‘fix my street’ last Tuesday. By mid-morning Wednesday work had commenced on all three sites, and by the following Monday the work was completed.

I understand the ACT government even stepped in to replace a shade sail over the playground at my local shops. This despite the fact it should have been done by the land owner, but had been neglected.

Fixing a spelling mistake on a street sign just isn’t high on the priorities list.

However, if you listen to ABC radio there’s an ad that says you have to call Chief Minister talk back to get anything done. Always makes me wonder when I hear it who thought it was a good idea to advertise the fact that nothing will happen in Canberra unless you escalate it to the CM every other Friday on the radio. It’s like CCing someone’s manager to make them get a wriggle on!

I loved travelling Vietnam and seeing the variation of the pedestrian crossing signs that were obviously hand made locally. Some of them looked like slenderman!

I dont have an issue with mistakes as such, but having lodged a fixmystreet request several years ago to correct a misspelling on my street, I do have an issue with it never having been fixed.

There is a sign saying Hayden Drive (instead of Haydon) when you cross on the cycle path near CIT Bruce
