New signs name streets " Visitors to Goderich have undoubtedly "had the ex- perience of having to get out of their cars to identify the names on the street signs. It is an • annoying chore but regardless it was a necessary one since the signs are impossible to read. Well, the town of Goderich is doing something about that problem and certainly the citizens of Goderich have 4 noticed the new colorful green and blue street signs that have been erected in , various sec- tions of town.. The- Goderich Public Works department last week erected oyer 1110 street signs around The Square, Huron ' Road, Victoria Street and Bayfield Road area at a cost of almost $2,800. Department foreman Stan Meriam stated that the old signs had beenv put up about •15 „,years ago; land that new signs .?r will be installed probabl,i at a yearly . rate of 110 in various other sections of "town. . Stan Profit, chairman of the Fire, Traffic and Safety Committee, explained that the first set of signs was erected on the two Highway 21 and High- way 8 approaches to town first so newcomers to town knew where to go. The committee .intends, to budget for • °more street sign money in the future to complete the job: "We have spent nearly $2,800 " on -the' signs already, "Reeve Profit said, • "but 'the signs around town are miserable and you can't see them." Mr. , Profit' • said that the reaction to the new signs' was ,favorable but added the town cannot help but improve on the existing signs.
