    Plano now participates in a very nice program that displays local crime incidents on a map. Just go to Crimereports.com and enter your zip code. It has several different parameters that can be set for how long back to display incidents and the types of incidents to display. It will also show the location and pictures of registered sex offenders. The data is updated every night.

    How to report companies that need to paint and/or replace old handicap signs.  The entity is the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations (512)-463-3211.  It is the Architectural Barriers Division.  You can report violations online at www.license.state.tx.us .  When you are on that website you click on report violations then click on architectural barriers and complete the form.  I checked it out and it is pretty easy.  You can also remain anonymous.
