New big blue signs in SoWal

Re: New signs on 30A designating communities

What is the area called in between Watercolors and Grayton beach? There is no sign.

You have Grayton Beach Community, Grayton Beach State Recreational Area and then Watercolor. I've never heard of another beach community in there.

Re: New signs on 30A designating communities

It's called Grayton Beach State Park.

Re: Poll: What do you think of the new signs on 30-A?

Thanks for posting the informative article. So is it correct that we can expect a crapload more signs, similar in nature, but smaller, all along the Timpoochee Trail in the near future?

Your guess is as good as mine on that one

Re: New signs on 30A designating communities

For informative signs they seem to leave out quite a bit of area. So far I've noticed many "limbo" areas now along 30A.

Re: Poll: What do you think of the new signs on 30-A?

From the article:
"(Commissioner) Meadows' goal is to have the signs in place within the next few months on the Timpoochee Trail multi-use path....

The project will include mile-marker signs, she added. Original plans called for 19 mile marker signs and 101 warning signs...."

Re: New signs on 30A designating communities

I wonder if Alys Beach will allow them to erect one on their section.

Re: New signs on 30A designating communities

Forget leaving out parts of areas along 30-A, if I followed their directions to Seagrove Beach from 395 I'd drive into the ocean!

One question - since the signs are supposedly posted at the boundaries and one side is completely blank, why couldn't we have posted 1/2 as many signs w/ printing on both sides? Sine they're freaking 20' tall, you'd be able to see them from both sides of the road. :roll:

Just so Miss Kitty won't blow a gasket when she reads your post....it is WATERCOLOR. I like to offer help when I can. ;-)

Because the sign maker can make more money.

Re: New signs on 30A designating communities

Sort of my point...............was asking for a little more fiscal responsibility and common sense as the dollars go flying out!

Re: Poll: What do you think of the new signs on 30-A?

Holy guacamole!

Apparently a scenic highway designation means that you plaster the highway w/ signs to cover up anything "unscenic"!!!

Re: Poll: What do you think of the new signs on 30-A?

Yes, and it means you get grant money to blow on such things as more signs.

Re: Poll: What do you think of the new signs on 30-A?

I think they are terrible. What happened to our Sign Ordinance?

Re: Poll: What do you think of the new signs on 30-A?

You know that ordinances and laws don't apply to gov't. Haven't you been getting unsolicited phone calls from politicians?

Nope! I love not having a land line!

Re: New signs on 30A designating communities

It's already up. So I guess the answer is yes. Despite all the landscaping I believe there is still right-of-way between the road and the property line, but you probably already knew that. ;-)

Re: Poll: What do you think of the new signs on 30-A?

I've done a bit more research on the signs. According to the Director of Public Relations and Visitor Services at the TDC, there will be 49 of these signs installed, at a cost of $260,000.
I don't have my calculator handy, but that is a cost of around $5300 per sign/installation. I'm in the wrong business.

Re: New signs on 30A designating communities

Is there one posted next door at Prominence?

Is there an echo on this board, or am I just having SJ deja-vu?

I just drove down 30-A today and saw the signs first hand. I wondered the same thing scooterbug. why didnt they double side them????

IS there one at Alys?? I somehow must have missed that one...

Is there one posted next door at Prominence?

no there is not one for Prominence. I guess they did not pass muster. They are in the area known as Watersound.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Who to contact about an error on a sign? On the East end of 30-A the very first sign has Inlet Beach and points West, not East. Talk about confusing a first time tourist....

Re: New signs on 30A designating communities

For corrections on signs, you can contact the TDC. Supposedly, they are the ones who will be insuring accuracy and correct installation after the signs are installed.

I forget the signs are for "beach communities." Prominence is not on the beach.

Last I checked (www.beachesofsouthwalton.com) for wayfinding purposes, Prominence is not a recognized community. That being said, call the TDC if you have a question, I would!

They have the Seaside Tupelo disease
