Main Street design committee seeks council support for new wayfinding signs; about 30 signs planned
Summary
Nevada Main Street’s design committee presented final mock-ups for roughly 30 new wayfinding signs to direct visitors to downtown and local destinations. Estimated per-sign cost is about $250 plus hardware; staff said the purchase is in the city budget for next year.
At the start of the Feb. 10 public forum, Emily Shep, representing the Main Street design committee in Nevada, presented finalized wayfinding sign designs the committee proposes to place around town to direct visitors to downtown and other destinations.
Shep said the committee decided to make separate small signs for individual destinations (rather than a single combined sign) so they can be moved or updated as needed. The committee estimates it will need just under 30 signs at about $250 per sign on average; the total will be higher when posts, hardware and installation are included. First Class Signs was selected for the production work after a different vendor (Blackboard) could not produce the curved element the committee wanted.
Shep said one planned location is a sign from Score Park pointing to downtown; the committee has driven proposed locations and will finalize the site map with one last tweak. Shep also credited committee member Joe Wakeman for much of the design work and said the purchase is included in the city budget for the next fiscal year.
Councilmembers and staff asked to see the map; Shep said the committee will provide a final placement map. The item was presented during public forum and does not require action, but staff indicated the purchase would follow normal procurement and budget processes.
Ending: Staff and Main Street will share the final sign placement map with council and plan to proceed under the city’s budgeted funds for the coming year.
