Please respond to this situation promptly (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in approximately 30 days to ensure that maintenance has been done. Whatever your intentions, please post a note here on the cache page to indicate that you are still active and maintaining the cache. Please do not post an owner maintenance log unless you have repaired or replaced the cache. If a month passes without a response, I'll assume this listing should be archived. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by selecting "Enable" from the drop-down list under "Log geocache."

Geocache Description:

The cache is still in its original place as if 5/16

AT A GLANCE:
Police Officer William L. Potts of Detroit, Michigan, decided to do something about the problem caused by the ever increasing number of automobiles on the streets. What he had in mind was figuring out a way to adapt railroad signals for street use. Potts used red, amber, and green railroad lights and about thirty-seven dollars worth of wire and electrical controls to make the world’s first 4-way three color traffic light. It was installed in 1920 on the corner of Woodward and Michigan Avenues in Detroit. Within a year, Detroit had installed a total of fifteen of the new automatic lights.

Please respect the flower bed near by.

This just looked like a fun place for a cache. Watch out for Muggles everywhere!

Congratulations to ARKS for FTF!
