  • Additional Information (if any): This is a hand painted Pokemon theme Free Little Library for our community. It was placed by me. To honor our grandson we lost. There are no restrictions, completely safe with parking.
    It not on our property, but on community walking path. there is no concern property issues as it can be accessed from walking area. There are logs to separate the residential property and the parking area
    county marked the area it could placed.

There was an issue with Google coordinates as the property was subdivided. A Google correction was submitted. The house location is correct now. So wondering if moved the pokestop. And it got removed

Please return the pokestop. Originally I called it Caidens Pokemon Library and it was rejected for name use.

I understand the concern of private property.

There is no sidewalk at this location. I don’t know why you have written that.

The post has had irrelevant and personal information removed by moderator edit.
The wayfarer team will be able to see this information, but as the removed material to the case of location it it not relevant, hence removal.

Since this case has been extensively discussed elsewhere on the forum, , I would ask if fellow wayfinders could refrain from responding here in order to make reading this straightforward for staff.
The main discussion is here

Correct not in front of the library. There is a paved community walking trail that ends directly across.
i thought one of photos posted showed different angle showing it with the sidewalk.
So it was just a reference it on the map. But I can try to remove it. Or find other photo I thought I included the side walk.
My apologies for the confusion.

A photo of the sidewalk isn’t needed, as it can be seen on satellite view on Google Maps.

Thanks for the appeal, @CaidensGrandma. We have taken another look but stand by our decision to retire this Wayspot.
