What’s the deal with the ‘No Parking on Thursday’ signs at 2nd
and Monterey streets? They are ugly and do not follow the city’s
sign ordinance. In past years organizers of the street dance did
not post the signs until the day of the event. Why do organizers
find it necessary to junk up downtown with these signs 24/7?

“What’s the deal with the ‘No Parking on Thursday’ signs at 2nd and Monterey streets? They are ugly and do not follow the city’s sign ordinance. In past years organizers of the street dance did not post the signs until the day of the event. Why do organizers find it necessary to junk up downtown with these signs 24/7?”
Dear What’s the Deal, Red Phone contacted Jorge Briones, executive director of the Morgan Hill Downtown Association, who said he had already been in contact with the committee working that event. “They will be using the standard red and white signs moving forward and they will be going up and down each week of the series,” he said.
So there you have it, good caller. Problem solved.
Signs will remain for two more weeks
“Who is in charge of removing the bright orange ‘under construction’ signs that remain posted on the Southbound side of Monterey Road, just before Tilton Avenue? The construction has been done for some time but the signs remain.”
Dear Who’s in Charge? Red Phone contacted David Gittleson, associate engineer. He said the contractor is required to remove the traffic warning signs when the work is complete.
“The signs were left up because a construction error was made and therefore a new traffic pole had to be ordered,” he said. “The lead time for a new pole is 10 to 12 weeks. The new pole is schedule to arrive soon and the work should be completed in the next two weeks. The signs will then come down then.”
Hope that answers your question, good caller.
Skate park is open 8 a.m. to sunset
“Red Phone, I see the new skate park is open now. What are the hours?”
Dear Shredder, the hours for the new skate park are 8 a.m. to sunset. It is located at 171 W. Edmundson Ave., adjacent to the Centennial Recreation Center and Community Park.
It is a 15,000-square-foot facility with street style elements and was designed for both beginners and advanced skaters. And, according to those who were there Saturday, the new park is a hit.
Remember, safety equipment is required., which includes a helmet, and knee and elbow pads. Have fun at the new park, good caller.
