Jersey Village City Council members sat in on a series of budget workshops in July, and the proposal that emerged for the 2018-19 fiscal year includes $1 million for new gateway and entrance signs to be built throughout the city.

The new signs were a priority of the city's comprehensive plan—adopted in 2016—with the goal of improving community character. The city contracted with Clark Condon Associates for $60,000 last August on a Gateway and Wayfinding Master Plan.

Residents were asked to provide feedback on three proposed design options at a public forum last December. The winning option features brickwork and the red, white and blue star used elsewhere in city branding.

Plans include five large gateways, each estimated to cost $200,000, and seven small gateways, each estimated at $60,000. Larger signs will be more than 20 feet high, whereas smaller signs will top out around 10 feet. An entry monument is estimated to cost $175,000.

The project is proposed to be carried out in phases, with another $1 million proposed to be set aside for fiscal year 2019-20. The installation timeline is yet to be finalized, but could begin in late 2018 or early 2019.
