Montgomery City Council approves funding for citywide wayfinding signs

Montgomery City Council on Nov. 10 approved the Montgomery Economic Development Corp. to spend up to $850,000 on the design, fabrication and installation of citywide wayfinding signs.

The details

The wayfinding project will include gateway entry monuments, directional signage and street signs throughout the city to help guide visitors and reinforce Montgomery’s branding, according to the agenda packet.

City officials said the project will be completed in phases and incorporate consistent colors, fonts and styles aligned with the city’s identity.

An LED sign company was selected to design and install the signage following a bidding process, Planning and Development Coordinator Corinne Tilley said. She said the design team has assessed sign locations and visibility challenges—such as roadside ditches—and aims to stay below the approved budget.

Tilley said these signs show efforts in improving navigation and enhancing the city’s visual appeal for residents and visitors.
