STAFF
Director Anderson reported that Rich Widmer had asked the URA1s
opinion regarding a requested sign (Janice Jackson-King1s Casuals)
at the location of the new bridge from the west end of Wiest Drive
parking lot to Peacock Park. Question — should the sign be there
and who should pay for it? It was the Board's opinion that a sign at
the bridge (indicating that it crosses into Peacock Park from the
parking lot) would be fine, but that the town should pay for it.
The parking lot, bridge and park are all Town-owned.
