At their work session on June 19, 2017, the City Council discussed using the funds <br />budgeted in 2018 for a gateway sign at Highway 96 and Lexington Avenue. In August 2017, staff <br />began working with WSB & Associates on a concept design plan and cost estimate for the gateway <br />sign. Staff from WSB will be in attendance at the work session on January 16, 2018 to present the <br />concept design plan. <br />To date, gateway signs have been installed at the following locations: <br />• County Road E2 at Cleveland Avenue <br />County Road D at Cleveland Avenue <br />County Road D at New Brighton Road/Lake Johanna Boulevard (Triangle Property) <br />The approximate cost of the signs for these past projects has been $10,000. The project at the <br />Triangle Property included additional landscaping and irrigation improvements, and staff has <br />estimated the total cost of this project (including the sign) at between $30,000 and $45,000. Staff <br />had anticipated the cost of the gateway sign at Highway 96 and Lexington Avenue to be more than <br />these previous signs due to the larger scale of the project. <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />
