Old Woodmore Mall signage stored offsite; city planner says signs need restoration
Summary
Council members and planning staff said large Woodmore Mall letters are stored at a sanitary‑district facility and are in poor condition; staff said they have not decided what to do with them and that restoration would be substantial.
A resident asked about the old Woodmore Mall letters now in storage. City planner Bridal Poland said the letters are not in the city planner’s office but are stored at a sanitary district building. She said the city had not yet discussed next steps for the letters but that they are safe in storage for the moment.
A former council member who spoke at the meeting said the signs were in poor condition when removed and would require significant restoration or remanufacture. "When we took them down, they were in poor shape. So they would need significant restoration, if not just being made again to be restored," the former councilman said.
City staff did not announce a plan or budget for restoration; no action was taken during Mayor’s Night Out. Staff invited the questioner to follow up if they want a specific plan or to pursue restoration options.
