People visiting family or friends pay special attention to our street signs. The conditions of our street <br />signs may give the visitors their first impression of our public works department. Signs also say <br />something about the general housekeeping of our community. If visit:ors can easily read our signs and <br />are able to travel at a reasonable rate of speed, without stopping at every intersection to read the street <br />sign, their trip will be safer and more enjoyable. <br /> <br />The department's long-range goal for replacement is to start with the higher speed roads in town, This <br />would consist mainly of the intersections on County and State roads. The number of intersect ions <br />involved in this phase would number approximately 130. All of these intersections would be fitted with <br />9-inch sign blades. For the remaining nearly 650 intersections, we would use 6-inch sign blades, <br /> <br />The 1999 budget does not allow for any large-scale sign replacement this year; however, our sign <br />inventory is Iow, and this is an opportune time to start replacing damaged signs with the new design. <br />Our replacement cost appears to be in the neighborhood of $200.00 per sign. I will compile complete <br />information for the upcoming budget meetings. As noted eadier we have a 15-year window to <br />accomplish this task. <br /> <br />· Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
