When I saw the initial post, I forwarded it to Steve as well as Fitchburg’s Transportation Engineer (Ahna) and Director of Public Works (Cory). Steve weighed in on it with a bit of added info and copied our police. The end result, at least for now, is this:

Good idea, Bill, to contact Mayor Arnold. I was thinking the same thing as I read the initial post. Maybe the Fitchburg police Department should be contacted as well to have them remove the presumably unapproved stop signs.

I saw the signs early this afternoon while leading a group ride on Badger. I would have done it had I thought about it at the time. These signs are obviously illegal. Fitchburg Mayor Steve Arnold watches this list and I assume he will quickly correct the situation. In fact, I'll send this info directly to him.

Obviously they meant to have them facing the roadway, not the trail, so that their drivers and other people on Marketplace are reminded of their crosswalk obligations. Maybe you or another trail user should help them fix their mistake and just turn the signs 90 degrees... I'm sure they'll appreciate the help.
