Staff updates wayfinding signs; committee moves public comment to start of agenda and sets 5‑minute limit
Summary
Staff showed mockups and locations for Fort Pierce gateway and district wayfinding signs and said gateway signs are with FDOT for approval. Separately, the committee voted to move public comment to earlier in the agenda and set a five‑minute limit per speaker (maximum total considered).
Staff presented design and placement plans for new wayfinding and gateway signage in Fort Pierce and the committee approved a procedural change to the bylaws governing public comment.
The signage update described new "Welcome to Fort Pierce" gateway signs and directional wayfinding signs intended for downtown and district entrances. Staff said planned gateway locations include U.S. 1, North 25th Street, South 25th Street and Orange Avenue at the I‑95 ramps; gateway signs will be lit and district brand signs and updated parking signage will follow once the gateway signs receive FDOT approval.
On bylaws, staff proposed moving public comment to the start of the agenda to allow speakers to comment on items while they remain fresh in the discussion. After a short debate about time allotments, the committee agreed to adopt a five‑minute limit per speaker; staff will circulate updated bylaws for committee review at the next meeting.
Next steps: staff will proceed with finalizing sign locations pending FDOT approval and will circulate a revised bylaws draft reflecting the public comment placement and time limit.
