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? :dunno: Sine they're freaking 20' tall, you'd be able to see them from both sides of the road. :roll:

Because the sign maker can make more money.

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

Holy guacamole!

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

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

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

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

Re: New signs on 30A designating communities

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

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. ;-)

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.
