City Department of Public Works Director Jeff Lehman (standing) goes over details with the Jamestown City Council of the temporary way-finding signs that will be installed in the city later this summer as the city awaits the completion of a final way-finding plan.<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

JAMESTOWN – Temporary way-finding signs will be put up around the city in the coming weeks as city officials await the completion of a $500,000 permanent way-finding plan.<\/p>\n

On Monday night department of public works director Jeff Lehman<\/strong> presented the council with details of the temporary way-finding signs that will be placed throughout the city in the coming weeks in advance of the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival<\/strong> and opening of the National Comedy Center<\/strong> (NCC).<\/p>\n

The city has received a state grant of $400,000 to pay for permanent way-finding signage around the city to assist visitors with parking and finding various destinations.\u00a0 The Gebbie Foundation<\/strong> has provided a grant to cover the remaining $100,000 in local costs. However, the consultant hired to complete the plan,\u00a0Bergmann Associates<\/strong>, is still working on finalizing the way-finding plan and it won\u2019t be ready until after this summer.<\/p>\n

As a result of the plan not being completed by the end of July, the Gebbie Foundation has stepped in to pay for and post temporary signage for visitors this summer.<\/p>\n

In April, city Development Director Vince DeJoy<\/strong> told the city’s Strategic Planning and Partnership Commission<\/strong><\/a> that officials were hoping to have the Bergmann plan completed and implemented before the Aug. 1 opening of the NCC. However, NCC officials requested changes in downtown traffic patterns \u2013 including making W. Second Street between Washington and Lafayette Streets Two-Way, as well as allowing for left hand turns onto Second and Third Street from the northbound lane of Washington Street.<\/p>\n

DeJoy said the state Department of Transportation<\/strong> would have to review and sign-off on any such changes because Washington Street is considered part of Route 60 \u2013 a state designated highway. That means the plan would be put on hold to await the state input.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
