These are called USA markings. These are to indicate where utilities are located underground so the crews do not damage them.

Why is it that these USA markings are only in front of this property and none others along the street?

Clearly these are unsightly and would not be found on all the homes in Vallejo, so why is it acceptable to have these markings tagging up the sidewalk in this location if no related work is being done?

Only this property or sidewalk needs or needed work done that required underground digging.

And once that work is done, these graffiti tags will be removed?

At the very least, we need to get a situation report on when/if this work is expected to be completed as these tags have been here for over a year now.

It is far from graffiti. The marks prevent destruction of underground utilities such electrical lines, sewers or, gas lines.

That's helpful, but maybe instead of taking up two squares of sidewalk with writing these underground utility lines could be marked with a simple strip at the curb and color coded as appropriate; orange, white, green. I've seen official markings in other parts of the city that are done this way.

I vote for that solution, as these "official writings" are unsightly and a blight on the neighborhood.

Lines are marked that way to show exactly where they are underground. These are generally used when the request covers more area. The markings that say "no" or "ok" are to signify that the utility came out and nothing is in the way for the dig. If you have an issue with how the markings are made you may visit www.usanorth.org and work with them to change their policy. These policies are not set forth by the city of Vallejo.

Fair enough. I guess we just have to focus on getting the work done that is requiring those markings.

The only work I can see that needs to be done is the street damage in front of those markings. Once that section of the street is resurfaced, will those markings still need to be there?
