The Town's community services com- mittee is recoimnending ail street signs use the same white Iettening and be painted the Town's officiai blue colour to replace out- dated designs that seeru to use aimost every colour of lthe ramnbow. The sign sizes and styles could vasy, but wouidn't be outrageously different from one another. Street names wouldn't change. A street sign policy speaks to the larger issue that Milton is growing by leaps and bounds and needs a consistent pattern to help new residents get around. It would also help police, fure and paramedics better respond to 911 calîs. The new policy wouid replace the backdrop would be standard, signa could be dolied up to make them distinct. For example, a local road, like First LUne, could have a sign with ita former commu- nity name of Nassagaweya on it - an attempt by thse Town 10 recognize Multon's rural history. Other signa could display a symbol or a neighbourhood name. (The Town decides the narne of a neighbor- hood). Developers pay for and instail street signa themselves within their subdivision. Costs range between $50 each for standard ones and more than $ 100 each for tIse dec- orative styles. 'Me Town needs 10 equip tIse roughly 20 intersections with missing signs, mostly in the core neighborhoods. Some have been stoien or not replaced when names changed. The Town's committed to spending $10,000 over the next two years to gel those signa put up. ref i it while you shop! or Let us show you how you can save even more with aur easy ta, use Refi Kits.

Amazingly, there are 10 different sign styles. Some are green, brown, white and blue; some signs are the plastic square kind made 30 years ago tIsat need electricity to ight up. They're found in tIse downtown core along King and Queen streets. The Town would also change tIse 1,000 existing street signa - expected to take about five years - to match the new style. Mayor Gord Krantz said the new poiicy is the sign of the times, and is ail for it. 'We're growing quite rapidly," he said of Milton's ever-expanding population, after iast week's committee meeting. "We al take for granted where the streets are. Even 1 have trouble keeping up to speed with the new areas." The recorniendatjons must be passed by town council to become officiai. It will meet Monday at 7:30 p.m. at Town Hall. Whiie white lettering against a blue
