Replacing worn-down street signs is an ongoing city project.
“Street signs is one of the ones that everybody driving sees,”
said City of Moose Jaw public works manager Duane Grado. “To the general
public, it is an inconvenience when you’re looking and can’t see. It’s not one
of the most important infrastructures, but it’s definitely one of the
infrastructures (where) we have budgets for them.”
He said about 50 signs are replaced per year. He estimated there
are 1,200 blocks in the city and 1,500 street identification signs that should
last between 20 and 25 years.
