PETITION COMING AGAINST LOCKED UP BULLETIN BOARD

Opposition to the new glass-enclosed, key-locked and Maplewood Village Alliance-controlled bulletin board is growing


PATCH reports that there will be a petition against the move that locks out the average citizen from the Maplewood Village bulletin board at today's Green Day event.

The Alliance also issued this statement, first posted on PATCH:



The new sign was developed in partnership by the MVA with the Civic Association. The goal was to create a space that will allow us to provide a map and other information for people who may be unfamiliar with Maplewood and our shops, restaurants and public spaces as well as to provide the Civic Association with a space to list events and other activities of interest to residents and visitors. The sign and the installation were donated to the Village and the sign was installed in a way that will allow it to be moved should expected construction begin at that site in the future.
As a point of clarification, keys to the Board are held by both the Alliance and the Civic Association. The Alliance is developing the business directory/map content for the sign and the Civic Association maintains responsibility for posting community flyers.
