I have seen these community bulletin boards in other cities also. I thought
they were a good idea, and proposed the idea once to the board of our
neighborhood association. The idea was soundly rebuked and defeated because
it was thought of as a fire hazard. It was stated that vandals would be
continuously lighting fire to the haphazard collage of paper flyers.

>> This summer during trips to Madison and Boulder, I noticed kiosks in
public areas full of flyers for musical, theatrical and political events. I
thought this was a good thing. It gave me the impression that these city
governments addressed the concerns of people who don't want such items on
telephone poles and lightposts without disregarding the needs of those who
post and read the flyers.
