Aluminum Street Markers Favored Over Wood by City
City council will consider a plan by Mayor Gnagy to install steel and aluminum street signs on all paved streets this year, replacing the wooden hitching post markers. The plan aims to curb unsightly signs, improve readability for motorists, and reduce costs. A map showing intersections and sign counts is in preparation, and a stop sign on Fourth Street West may be added to enforce the boulevard ordinance.
