RDC reviews Creekside Corporate Park signage plan; officials flag line‑of‑sight safety and $100,000 budget

The Redevelopment Commission reviewed an early design for new tenant signage at Creekside Corporate Park and discussed sight‑line safety and budget considerations, but took no vote.

Deputy Mayor Justin Haig said the sign redesign aims to provide visibility for tenants, particularly those located away from 106th Street, and to improve wayfinding for customers and patients, citing the needs of a nearby Center for Sight. The proposal includes tenant panels and a plan to slide the sign back roughly "half a car length" to reduce line‑of‑sight issues for drivers and pedestrians.

"So what we've decided to do is in addition to redesigning the sign to allow for tenant signage, we're also going to slide it back a little bit to provide a little bit better" visibility, Haig said during the presentation.

Haig said the project will be designed with input from REA and the Creekside architectural review committee; a committee member raised safety concerns about the sign's current placement. The commission was told the project is budgeted at $100,000, though officials said bids and inflation could increase the cost slightly and the commission would return for additional appropriations if necessary.

A commission member noted the architectural committee reviewed the design and that a similarly styled sign is planned for Lot 9 to maintain a cohesive appearance. The item was presented for information and to give the commission and public advance notice; no action was taken at the meeting.

Next steps: staff will seek bids, refine the design with the architectural committee and return to the commission if additional funding is required.
