The Redesign of the Detroit City Sign

The Issue

Demand Transparency and Redesign of Detroit Sign!

As residents of Detroit, we are deeply disappointed by the recent unveiling of the Detroit sign, which purportedly cost taxpayers a staggering $400,000. The current sign fails to capture the essence of our city. Instead of reflecting the vibrant culture and identity of Detroit, it stands as a symbol of wasteful spending and disregard for community input.

We demand transparency regarding this expenditure. We deserve to know how much each letter cost? What materials were used? How much did installation costs amount to? We have a right to understand where our money went.

Furthermore, we believe that the design should be reconsidered to better represent Detroit. We propose a redesign that prominently features the iconic Detroit "D". This is not just about aesthetics; it's about respect for our city's heritage and prudent use of public funds.

We refuse to accept this misuse of public funds without scrutiny or accountability. It is time for us as citizens to stand up against such practices and demand transparency from those in power.

Join us in demanding transparency on this issue and calling for an immediate redesigning process that truly reflects our city's spirit! Please sign this petition today!
