In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the upcoming removal and replacement of outdated signage in the downtown area, with plans to coordinate construction schedules over the next month. The new signs will be installed alongside the removal of the old yellow and blue signs, which have been criticized for poor quality. The new signage will feature a different color scheme, transitioning to a blue and gold design. Officials noted that the old signs, likely made of aluminum, could be recycled, potentially generating funds for the community.

The meeting also addressed a proposal to extend the residential parking zone to 330 North High Street, where the Androm Hotel Law Office is located. The discussion revealed that previous decisions regarding parking permits for the property had not been formally codified in the ordinance, leading to confusion about the availability of permits for the law office and its tenants.

Concerns were raised about the adequacy of parking in the area, with officials noting that there is sufficient street parking available within a short distance from the building. The law office owner expressed frustration over the lack of parking permits, citing a history of similar discussions dating back to 2006. He emphasized the need for permits to accommodate both his law office and residential tenants, arguing that the current parking situation has not improved since the initial agreements were made.

The council members are expected to deliberate further on the parking zone extension and the implications for local businesses and residents in the coming weeks.
