do you know any better, or are you talking out your ass just as much as you're accusing the parent of?
i have worked for a municipal government, and part of my job was installing signs in bike lanes. $500 is a pretty spot-on estimate. a sign is $50-$100 per unit at the size you'd install in a bike lane, paying the sign company to do the design and setup was about $200 (less if it's in MUTCD), paying two people (city work needs two people to do anything) to drive out and install it would be about another $100. add another $50 or so if you need to install a new break-off post. we did this multiple times in response to citizen requests, without any red tape beyond the approval of my boss who was the lowest possible level of boss in the municipal government.
