Council selects option B for interstate bridge logo; preliminary cost about $37,000
Summary
Staff asked permission to place two circular city-logo medallions on a bridge abutment; council picked option B and directed staff to submit the design to NCDOT for final cost and scheduling — staff's rough estimate was about $17,500 per medallion.
City staff proposed adding circular medallions bearing the city's logo to the bridge abutments at the I-4085 interchange to increase visibility and community identity. Richard White said NCDOT would allow two circular medallions on each side of the bridge and provided a rough estimate of "$17,500 for each medallion" for a total of about $37,000 including fabrication and installation.
Council members preferred option B (concerns were raised that option C might be difficult for drivers to read at highway speeds). After a motion and second, the council voted to proceed with option B and asked staff to submit the chosen concept to NCDOT for a final cost estimate and scheduling. Staff noted delaying the work could increase the city's costs if lane closures are needed at a later time for installation.
