Is it possible to get a sign welcoming people to the geyser crest. They used to have a sign on Eureka Drive but it is no longer there. Raised as a Cresty i know that most of us have pride and would like to see a sign welcoming those who enter the crest from Hathorn blvd and geyser road

All that has changed for the better since the sign was removed. DPW now puts a lot of effort into this neighborhood. Just look at the improvements of the city property/well-field on Hathorn. It is now a park-like setting with a state-of-the art water system. The Saratoga Police (Public Safety) patrol on a regular basis - unheard of in years past. The SSPD has helped residents coordinate one of the largest Neighborhood Watch communities in the country and we even have a "welcome sign" at every entrance to the Geyser Crest neighborhood.
Put your energy into things that will truly make a difference, like 50 feet of curbing at the corners of the Hathorn entrance or a piece of sidewalk that will get us from Hathorn to the crosswalk on Geyser Road at the school.
Volunteer to help the adopt-a-roadside program to clean up Geyser Road twice a year. Join The Southwest Neighborhood Association, which paid for the welcome sign on Geyser Road and erected the rail fence to protect the sand dune habitat. Join the Neighborhood Watch program to receive "alerts". Find out what Watch Zone you live in and offer to help.
There are so many important things to do and paying for a sign that divides us from the city is not one of them.
PS. There is no Geyser Crest Neighborhood Association. SWNA also includes Rowlands Hollow East, Evergreen Pointe, Emerald Forest, Casino, the Grande Industrial Park and The Springs.

The 'Geyser Crest' sign might have been attrative to some, but it was very negative and degrading to many others.
It became a nuisance over time and a place for kids to hang out, drink, litter, break bottles and stash empty beer cans and cigarette packs. For many many years, I was the only person to clean the area, trim the shrumbs and trees, pick up the litter and debris, throw away empty McDonalds bags and food wrappers, pick up the broken glass and empty beer cans, empty cigarettte packs, etc, etc, etc.
At a time when city government cannot even build a new police department building, it should be obvious to anyone with any financial sense that money is better spent on real needs.
If someone wants a sign, let get a permit, finance and erect a sign on their front yard and sit proudly in front of it for photo ops and interviews.
