Former town clerk urges Greenberg to adopt uniform standards for commemorative street signs
Summary
Judith Beville, Greenberg's former town clerk, urged the board to adopt a consistent standard for commemorative street signage, citing differences between signs for Dr. Olivia J. Hooker and Millie O'Sheehan and asking that criteria include residency.
Former town clerk Judith Beville addressed the board Wednesday to request a standard policy for commemorative street signs, saying recent installations were inconsistent in size and wording.
Beville cited two examples: an original sign honoring Dr. Olivia J. Hooker and a newer sign honoring Millie O’Sheehan. She asked the board to require consistent formatting — for example, adding the word "Way" where appropriate — and to adopt criteria that prioritize people who lived in the community.
Board members acknowledged the request and discussed that the historical-review board and the family of an honoree could be consulted; staff said temporary relocations of signs had occurred because of a corroded pole and that corrected, permanent signage was expected to be installed the following week.
