.56 mile?

We seem to have several new posts in the ground around the Southern Community Park paths. Each one that I saw had a line drawing of a hiker of some sort and ".56 mile". What does that mean?

Could it be that this is the distance on the path around the playing fields?

Bad design

It is really a shame that they did not design Southern Community Park well enough to acommodate the trucks that apparently have to get to the rest room area and the fields now and again. The sidewalks are not wide enough and so they churn up the grass on either side and make quite a mess. I hope someone has noted this design error for admonition of the responsible parties.

Fiber optic service

Does anyone know the current state of fiber optic service to homes in Southern Village?

Stop signs

Yesterday at 1:45 PM, a silver sedan driven by a man with a white baseball cap went through two stop signs without stopping - one at Graylyn and Edgewater and then again at Edgewater and Brookgreen. I was not able to get the license plate and did not get the make of the vehicle. I do not know if he lives in the neighborhood.
