PHLP proposes downtown interpretive sidewalk signs; commission to coordinate with BID and Board of Works
Summary
Preserving Historic La Porte (PHLP) proposed aluminum interpretive signs on sidewalk posts for downtown sites, offering to fund them; the commission noted placement, design guidelines and approvals from the Business Improvement District and Board of Works will be required.
A representative described a downtown signage project from PHLP that would place interpretive aluminum signs on posts along the sidewalk to highlight historic buildings; PHLP would cover the cost and asked the commission to recommend city placement. "They're gonna cover the cost, and then the city will put them in," the chair summarized.
Commissioners raised design, spacing and placement concerns—sidewalk width and planters may limit usable locations—and noted two city review bodies must approve: the Business Improvement District and the Board of Works. The group agreed to draft a letter to the BID to explain the project and coordinate next steps with city staff.
