Blyth council closer
to new entrance signs
Blyth got a little closer to having
three new entrance signs after an
hour-long meeting Wednesday
night with a local sign-maker.
Councillors discussed possibili
ties with Dave Hemingway of
Woodway Industries for more than
an hour at the Feb. 13 council
meeting. Most of the discussion
revolved around whether the signs
should be illuminated or reflective,
how much information should be on
the signs and how large the printed
area should be.
Still undecided however is the
location and design of the signs.
Councillors seem to be leaning
toward a slightly smaller version of
the sign now at the south end of the
village, for the northern edge of
the village on Highway 4 and
smaller signs, more like billboards,
on County Rd. 25 at the east and
west. Separate signs were discuss
ed to show what local service clubs
were active in the community.
