Big congrats to the design team. As a frequent user, I find the navigation intuitive and simple, and the layout and design sophisticated and direct. I've also appreciated the web team maintaining this simplicity over the years by not bogging down the pages with a visual assualt of information and links. With many stakeholders vying for "visibility" they've done a nice job keeping it balanced. I’ve been a big fan of the site since it’s unveiling. Big congrats to the design team.

We did not do a good job last time placing the AT@T boxes all over town, many of the placements of the boxes are quite ugly in front of peoples home and schools. Will we learn from the past mistakes?
