Summary
A year-long inventory of all 3,133 Powell street signs found 286 that don't meet federal night-visibility standards, including 96 that need full replacement. The city will phase in fixes and is weighing a new private-to-public sign policy — including whether HOAs pay part of the cost for neighborhood signs and how to store the different sign types.
