it's been only a few months since the contractor completed the east king street improvements project. the top of the new freestanding post, that contains the pedestrian crossing activation button(s) (located at the northeast corner of east king street and massunutten street), is busted. the top of the post hangs precariously by a figurative thread.
- what happened? (it appears that maybe a vehicle with an oversized load, or a vehicle towing a trailer with an oversized load, or a tractor-trailer truck failing to stay in the roadway while making the right turn, may have hit it.)
- why was the new pedestrian crossing post located unprotected at the curb?
- why are there three different types of pedestrian crossing button post/poles at the ends of the two contiguous crosswalks?
- how much will the repair/replacement cost?
- who pays? (I suspect that the answer is "we will".)
- how many more times will this newest of the three pedestrian crossing post/poles be struck and damaged? (especially considering the fact that it's already been hit after being in place for only a few months.)
- who pays each time a post/pole is struck? (see question number 5)
- is anybody home at town hall? (it seems like nobody is.)
