Street Name Blades City staff members have been contacted a few times by residents and past residents who’ve learned that we will soon be replacing the old street name blades for more reflective versions. These residents have inquired as to whether the signs would be available—either for free or for purchase—for sentimental or nostalgia reasons. Up to this point, staff’s position was that the old name blades would be recycled as scrap. Taking on the task of trying to stockpile, coordinate and sell the old blades would seem too much effort for too little gain. Council member Gunn suggested we talk about selling the blades if not too much trouble and using the proceeds to fund “art in the Park” projects or some other community engagement event. While it would make most sense to keep the blades at the public works garage, doing so would limit access and would be inconvenient for staff. The other option would be to have a supply at City Hall in a recycle bin on display. Does the Council have any desire to sell the blades versus recycling them?
