How exactly does a plaque hang in a sidewalk?
2
Is it embedded in the sidewalk, or in the building plaza adjacent to the sidewalk? One side the City's responsible for, the other the property owner. In other words if you trip and fall on the near side of that crack, you sue the City. On the other side, you sue B of A. If you trip on the crack itself? Chaos.

Someone should take a dump on it and then photograph it. Technically something would have "passed".

A lawyers' plaque, intended to prevent anyone from successfully asserting an adverse possession claim to a right to pass across said property.

In Philadelphia, one occasionally comes across sidewalk placards with the odd wording "This space not dedicated."

As Ambrose Bierce pointed out:

LAND, n. -- A part of the earth's surface, considered as property. The theory that land is property subject to private ownership and control is the foundation of modern society, and is eminently worthy of the superstructure. Carried to its logical conclusion, it means that some have the right to prevent others from living; for the right to own implies the right exclusively to occupy; and in fact laws of trespass are enacted wherever property in land is recognized. It follows that if the whole area of terra firma is owned by A, B and C, there will be no place for D, E, F and G to be born, or, born as trespassers, to exist.

...and of course...

PEDESTRIAN, n. - The variable (and audible) part of the roadway for an automobile.

It's actually a sign over the door to the B'nai B'rith offices.

@5
yeah! so "dedicated" means a pedestrian right of way. In Seattle this usually extends 6 to 10 feet from the private property line. What it means is that no one can legally use that space for anything other than getting around. No sitting, selling papers, standing holding a sign, etc. If there is still space past the ROW line, that area can be used for other stuff. That is why the flag bike guy/preachers/paper salespeople are always close to the curb at Westlake. They are just outside the "dedicated" ROW.

There's a plaque honoring e-coli on Eastlake.

"Dedicated" means the right to use the property has been given to the city. B of A has not done this with this property, so it has not been dedicated.

@2, well you "break your mother's back."
13
Oh my goodness, a sign identifying a property line. Capitalist pigs!
14
But on the other side it didn't say nothing

This land was made for you and me.

I walked by this today, the plaque is on BofA property. If Jen took this picture this is a very dishonest post.

Please wait...
