New signs and designs proposed for downtown P.A.
A city association is hoping new signage will help people find their way downtown.
The over $32,000 proposal came before city council Monday. The Prince Albert Downtown Business Improvement District (PADBID) director Rick Orr pitched the idea and said the organization had already fundraised roughly $15,000 during last year’s This Place Matters campaign. He requested dipping into the downtown reserve fund to cover the additional costs.
He said the signs would “allow for a distinctive look in downtown.” Agenda documents show 34 wayfaring signs and one large entrance sign would be installed.
A large brick sign would be located at the corner of 15th Street and Central Avenue, bear a ‘Welcome to Downtown’ message, and measure ten feet by six feet. Designed for vehicle traffic, the waypoint signs would direct towards major civic facilities and some would have art on the backside.
