Committee raises legibility and color concerns about street signs in parts of Cross Plains
Summary
A committee member reported that some street-name signs in the Venice/Springfield area are difficult to read and that hardware and post colors do not match; the committee asked staff to continue reviewing sign locations and styles and to report back with options.
At the Jan. 8 meeting a committee member raised concerns about street-name sign legibility and inconsistent post/hardware colors on signs in the Venice/Springfield area. Members said some signs are small and hard to read and cited specific intersections (for example Springfield and Venice/Airport Road area) where signs appear inconsistent or confusing to drivers.
The discussion focused on aesthetics and public-safety considerations for first responders who rely on clear signage. Committee members asked staff to inventory problem locations, check whether signs match the village’s current specifications, and return with recommendations for color and hardware standardization and potential cost-saving measures (including whether to change bracket colors to match posts).
No formal action was taken; the item will return as staff develops an inventory and cost estimate.
