Ranson <br />www. ci.little- canada. mn. us <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Blesener & Members of City Council <br />FROM: Bill Dircks, Public Works Superintendent <br />DATE: July 2, 2007 <br />RE: Old Kettle River Road Identification Signs Along L.C. Road <br />The Little Canada Historical Society has requested the City install signs identifying the <br />Old Kettle River Road that ran where much of Little Canada Road is now. They will <br />purchase the signs and brackets and City staff will install them at eight locations ranging <br />from Rice and Little Canada Road to MeMenemy and L.C. Road. A copy of the quote <br />including the appearance of the sign has been included with this memo. The cost of the <br />signs and brackets is $704.00. The sign would be black writing on a white background so <br />that it will stand out from our green street name signs. The City of St. Paul has marked a <br />few of their historic roads with similar signage. An example is West Seventh St. <br />downtown. There are "Old Fort Road" signs posted along with the West Seventh St. <br />signs. <br />Staff is recommending approval of the installation of up to eight Old Kettle River Road <br />signs purchased by the Little Canada Historical Society on the condition that the signs do <br />not interfere with the existing signs and do not adversely impact the current setup of the <br />signs. An example of adverse impact would be the weight of the new sign causing the <br />sign tree to bend or tip one way due to excessive weight. <br />
