New Street Signs & Posts

The Town of Jamestown has recently instituted a new Street Sign Post specification and some of our first examples are now being installed. Currently, the newest additions are located at Lennox Square Condos on W. Main St. and at James Plantation on Guilford College Rd. As you can see from the photo, the signs and decorative poles and blade holders really add to our landscape!

As a quick note, the white blade with green letters (Lennox Square Dr.) denotes the fact that this street is a "private" street and is not maintained by the Town. "Public" streets will retain the green background with white lettering, which is standard practice in most municipalities.

The plan is to initially begin to replace the older white posts and street name signs in our "Town Core" area, with the first delivery occurring in the next few months. Initially, we will begin to replace signage along Main Street between Guilford Rd. and Oakdale Rd. As funds become available, we will extend these signs posts throughout town as a whole. As development occurs, we will require them to meet our sign standards, which will hasten the transition from the older style posts and signs to the newer styles.

Along those same lines, the Town Council has approved the funding of banner posts and banners to line the same area, which is becoming known as our "Town Core". The initial banners will show off our new Town Seal and welcome visitors and citizens to our "Historic District". Stay tuned for more info and photos as we move forward with our plan to assist in the beautification of Jamestown!
