FROM: The Planning Department
SUBJECT: Bata Hi -Y Sign (Broadway and State Streets)
Slit
The Planning Department has made a study of the location proposed for a
Beta Hi -Y sign giving the Bangor High School direction. The proposed site on the
Broadway median strip which is city property has one sign there at this time.
We feel that:
1. Sig in on this median may create a potential traffic hazard for
visibility and may cause confusion to the flaw of traffic.
2. Additional signs may cause the effect of a aeries of Sig rie.
We also discussed the possibility of the sign being placed at another
location an Broadway, and decided that no other location would be suitable either
because of a safety hazard or lack of space.
Mr. Eaton, Superintendent of Schools, was called and asked if there would
be a sign placed at the north entrance of thm school since one has fust been a inted
at the south entrance. He said, 'No plans had bean made for another sign, and had no
objections if one ware to be placed there.'
We feel that a directional sign of this size may create traffic problems,
and, at this time, we Cannot sea a suitable site for this sign•
If Beta H1 -Y desires to erect a Sign, It appears that the north entrance of
the high school would be a suitable location for an identification sign.
