Joseph Bratcher, with Phaltless Inc., adjusts updated street signs recently installed along Market Street in downtown Dayton, Tenn.DAYTON, Tenn. – Bolder, more easily seen street and parking signs have been installed at intersections along Market Street in downtown Dayton.
“These new signs will give us a consistent look,” said Kerry Nabors, design chairman with MainStreet Dayton, the organization spearheading the work.
Earlier this year, Nabors had proposed the committee’s plan to renovate downtown’s metal poles and inconsistent-in-appearance signs and traffic signals. Dayton officials provided assistance with sign installations.
Nabors has said the decorative, fluted poles and 65 signs would cost about $32,000. Updated signs in the courthouse revitalization zone will include MainStreet’s logo and larger letters, he said.
He said the updates will help visitors and residents alike better navigate downtown and increase the area’s marketability.
