Works Commissioner Bill Twelvetrees suggested in his report to the committee last week that the region provide subsidies for the signs if they are erected at the fol- lowing locations in urban areas: two region roads; a regional road and a King's highway; a regional road and a connecting link; and any other location approved: by the region The sign-changing would be carried out over a num- ber of years as existing street signs need replacing, according to Twelvetrees. The provincial government' has requested that regional roads be identified by their number, partially because the province is considering including regional roads in the provincial road map. The regional numbers, rather than street names, would be used in the provin- cial map.
