Clarification on trail markers
NianticGiffard: Please check our stance on the below scenarios:

a) A marker with the trail name on the trail ← Excellent
b) A marker with the trail name on a street ← Good

d) A marker with no trail name on an open green space area ← Good enough
e) A marker with no trail name on the street ← Not Good

IMO these signs were submitted in good faith, follow the posted guidelines, and meet the criteria of encouraging exercise and exploration. I don’t see any abuse in submitting them.
