At the Monday night Public Works Committee Meeting, the Ad Hoc Committee on Wayfinding Signage, consisting of John Decker, Chris Eager, Heidi Carvin, Jeff Farnsworth and Betsy Ahner presented their report on proposed sign design and placement of signs so that people coming to Evansville can be directed efficiently to their destination by signs that are consistent with the historic feel of the community.
The arch top, 3- destination sign was the unanimous choice of the committee and of the 14 persons that attended this months Evansville Community Partnerships meeting and who were asked to provide input on the proposed signs. The arched wording of "Evansville" in Roman lettering was strongly endorsed as well as limiting the number of destinations on any sign to no more than three.
Also agreed on was green lettering on a white background.
About a third of the signs were school related and it was anticipated that some financial contribution would be requested of the school district to help with the cost.
The signs would be first implemented in the Union and East Main area of the new highway construction and then be budgeted for some each year similar to the way the sidewalk improvement plan has been scheduled.
All in attendance applauded the work of this ad hoc committee.
