Advisory Committee on Disabilities weighs replacing 'handicap parking' signs; cost estimated at $2,790
Summary
The committee agreed to prioritize replacing outdated parking signage and to survey town locations; Grethe Kaeselau said 25 new signs and mandatory 6-foot posts would cost $2,790, and members discussed outreach at the June 25 DCAL Information Fair.
The Advisory Committee on Disabilities discussed reallocating remaining FY26 funds to update town parking signage, with an initial estimate of $2,790 to replace 25 signs and install mandatory 6-foot posts. Grethe Kaeselau raised the cost figure and urged members to survey locations that need language changes. "Per Grethe, cost for 25 signs and posts (6 foot posts are mandatory) would be $2,790," the committee record states.
Committee members debated the specifications for posts and public-safety implications. Sam Awad objected to the post height, saying "6 footers are dangerous for those with visual impairments." Brenda Vazquez suggested the committee tie roll-out of new signs into outreach at the DCAL Information Fair on June 25 to publicize changes and gather community feedback. The item will be advanced as a priority for reallocation pending a townwide survey and cost confirmation.
