\t\t\t\tWith the encouragement of the Stapleton Principal HOA, the City of Denver has adjusted an Eastbridge sign to make it clearer where criminals and Aurorans should be headed. \u201cWe have had too many gun shots and gun incidences in recent weeks to not make some sort of change,\u201d said Stapleton Principal HOA President Paul Harris. \u201cWe feel the new sign is an improvement, especially for criminals and Aurorans who have a hard time reading. The symbol should be helpful.\u201d Eastbridge and Bluff Lake residents are hoping the new signage has a positive effect. \u201cAt this point, I think we are willing to try anything,\u201d said Bluff Lake resident Adam Miller. \u201cIf we aren\u2019t going to get our wall<\/a>, we need to keep trying other alternatives.\u201d Eastbridge resident Dana Wolfe is also hopeful the signage will make for some positive changes. \u201cSometimes little things like this can make big changes,\u201d said Wolfe. \u201cEven it diverges 10% of the crime, it can be a big help.\u201d\n\nSome area residents are not encouraged by the new look sign. \u201cIt just looks pretty tacky to have a firearm on a sign right outside of a nice residential neighborhood,\u201d said resident Kristen Doyle. \u201cNow I have to go out of my way to give friends and relatives an alternative route so that they are not driving by the sign on the way to our place.\u201d Shane Barnum agrees. \u201cDo we really think telling them that if they are criminals they need to go around will work?\u201d asked Barnum. \u201cThat is pretty ridiculous. We\u2019d have a better chance of paying someone to hold one of those spinning arrow things with a sign that said \u2018payday loans.\u2019\u201d Harris says the sign will remain for a least three months before making any decisions on changes. \u201cWe will evaluate its effectiveness,\u201d said Harris. \u201cIf it is helping, we will keep it. If not, back to the drawing board.\u201d]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
