Doraville council asks staff for price options to replace gateway signs near Assembly
Summary
Council discussed replacing a worn gateway sign on the Peachtree/Assembly corridor and asked staff to return with cost options and potential locations; staff cited a recent replacement of a smaller sign at about $15,000 (installed) as a reference point.
The Doraville City Council on April 8 discussed replacing a faded gateway sign on the Peachtree corridor near Assembly and asked staff to return with pricing and location options.
Councilmember Evans introduced the item, saying the gateway is a key corridor and the existing sign no longer conveys the city’s brand. Public works staff and Mr. Laflore told the council a replacement for a similar smaller sign had cost roughly $15,000 for material and installation; the stone “monument” versions would be more expensive and staff said they would provide exact estimates.
Councilmembers asked staff to consider multiple designs (a less-fancy metal sign and a stone/monument option), potential bulk purchasing for other entrances, and whether locally based vendors could supply the signs. No funding decision was made; staff will return with cost options and location recommendations for council consideration.
Next steps: public works will return with price points and recommended locations, including an estimate for a stone-style sign and the lesser metal sign referenced in discussion.
