] Recently I was bemoaning the lack of innovation in
] government. However, the Engineering Department of the
] City of the Victoria have shown me up. They've found an
] inventive use for those ubiquitous traffic control boxes
] you see on lamp and traffic light posts. In high
] pedestrian traffic areas, they've pasted neighbourhood
] maps on them. The maps wrap around three sides of the
] box, identifying areas of interest (as well as,
] interestingly, the city's URL).

] What a great idea. Not only do they use existing visual
] real estate (avoiding the need for other street-level
] maps), but it's a really cheap, low-tech solution to
] graffiti.

[ Good call. All cities should do this. It's cheap, easy and useful. -k]
