MINUTES <br />PARKS & REC COMMISSION <br />MARCH 4, 2021 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />Ray introduced the following motion: <br /> <br />TO SUPPORT MOVING FORWARD TO THE CITY COUNCIL WITH A <br />RECOMMENDATION FOR LOOP BIKE RACKS IN LITTLE CANADA PARKS. <br /> <br /> The foregoing motion was duly seconded by Chu. <br /> Ayes (6). Nays (0). Motion passed. <br /> <br />NEW BUSINESS: PARKS ENTRANCE SIGNAGE <br />The Community Services Manager stated that the replacement of City park entrance signs was <br />included in the 2021 CIP. He noted that the existing wood signs and posts are near the end of <br />their lives. He provided details on the proposed material for sign replacement along with <br />recycled plastic posts. He reviewed some different sign shapes, colors, and text options for the <br />group to consider. He stated that he would not propose to replace the Spooner sign because it is <br />a monument but would potentially add a sign for Veterans Memorial Park, which does not <br />currently have a sign. He noted that Thunder Bay Westwood is a long linear park and perhaps <br />there would be a few locations within that park where signage could be added. He stated that <br />staff would prefer the green and tan color scheme. <br /> <br />Commissioner Horwath commented that he liked the last design with the red logo as it stands <br />out. He stated that he also prefers the green and tan color scheme over the lighter scheme and <br />prefers the new design shape. <br /> <br />Commissioner Chu commented that the tan color may stand out more than the green color within <br />the parks. She stated that she also likes the red logo on the older style shape. <br /> <br />Commissioner Abruzzese commented that she is fine with either color choice but was drawn to <br />the green. She stated that she also likes the older font and style. She asked about the cost <br />difference for adding the red logo. <br /> <br />The Community Services Manager confirmed there is an increase in cost, estimating about $150 <br />per sign to add the red logo. <br /> <br />Commissioner Horwath noted that you can clearly see the contrast on the darker colored sign and <br />lighter colored lettering and therefore prefers that option over the lighter option. <br /> <br />Chair Miller commented that he would be open to either color option. He stated that he does <br />prefer the older style. He asked if the address or year the park was established should be added <br />to the signs. <br /> <br />The Community Services Manager commented that there was a lengthy discussion about adding <br />the address and while that would work for some parks it would be confusing at others because
