Is there an echo on this board, or am I just having SJ deja-vu?
Re: New signs on 30A designating communities
I wondered the same thing scooterbug. why didnt they double side them????
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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....
I just drove down 30-A today and saw the signs first hand.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:

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

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!

I finally took a look. I agree that they are too tall. They exactly match the TDC beach safety signs at the accesses but are larger.
I liked the old signs much better.
However, you can't miss these new ones. They really get your attention.

Re: Poll: What do you think of the new signs on 30-A?
The signs are very disheartening. Before the holidays, I attended a Coastal Dune Lake Advisory meeting where Claire Bannerman presented a thorough presentation book of the proposed wayfinding signage from one of the companies mentioned. I don't recall which one it was, but the signage I saw was really well thought out. The colors were earth tones with a depiction of seaoats around the border. I think they would have made any SoWaller proud. I think the idea of way finding signs are great, though unfortunately, the execution thus far is a visual assault.
Sorry TDC. I applaud your efforts, just which the community could have been consulted on this one. Too much of the branding of the "Beaches of South Walton" is proving to be not such a good thing.
This is one more example of how the community here has lost a little more control of our environment (natural and built). We need to step up the community involvement and demand to be notified and become active participants in these decisions.
