Neighbors ask council to expedite neighborhood signs for Godfrey Lee
Summary
Representatives of the Godfrey Lee listeners requested wayfinding/identity signs and an update on the city's neighborhood-signing program.
Two neighbors from the Godfrey Lee neighborhood asked the council during public comment to expedite installation of neighborhood signs that would identify and brand their area.
"We want signs that say welcome to Godfrey Lee," said Susan Van Bronkhorst, who spoke with neighbor Stacy Trent. They described Godfrey Lee as a bilingual neighborhood bounded by Pinery Park, Natchez Park, Marquette Park and Clyde Park and said signage would help build community.
Van Bronkhorst said the neighborhood first raised the request about a year and a half ago and understood the city's process would take at least a year. She asked whether the project was being worked on and said her group would like the signs to be placed at key entry points including Burlingame, Burton, Chicago Drive and Clyde Park.
Council members responded that staff would follow up after the meeting to provide a timeline and contact information. Council member Marissa (last name not specified in transcript) said she would make sure she was connected to the group.
