Bellbrook to install new gateway and interior street signs once back-ordered posts arrive
Summary
Staff said gateway-entry and Franklin Street signs are ready but the posts (referred to as 'polls' in the transcript) are backordered; installation will begin when materials arrive and staff will prioritize gateway and main-entry signage before interior replacements.
City staff told the council that the gateway-entry signs and Franklin Street signage are ready but that installation is delayed because the larger posts/poles are backordered. The city manager said the signs have tracking numbers and installation will proceed when materials arrive; staff expect to begin with gateway and Franklin Street installations before replacing interior sign faces.
A council member noted that some HOAs have custom signs and asked whether those would be addressed; staff said the plan for interior streets focuses on replacing the metal sign faces rather than poles, though some poles are in poor condition and will need later attention. The manager emphasized that the new signs will use high-contrast city colors to improve visibility.
Why this matters: signage affects wayfinding, safety and neighborhood identity; the timeline depends on delivery of specific hardware and installation requirements (footings for larger poles). No costs or contractor bids were approved at the meeting.
