The City will have to replace most of the traffic signs by 2015 because they are not retro-reflective.
Mayor Mark Harris told council members at the regular city council meeting on Monday that most of the city’s current signs are made of material that will not meet new state requirements.
The traffic signs include stop signs and speed limit signs. Harris said they could have to replace signs with street names if regulations are passed by the Department of Transportation. If so, they will have to replace them by 2018.
The state has already changed some signs in the county that are near state roads.
In other announcements, Harris said he is still working on a nuisance ordinance with city attorney Marshall Loy.
Harris said he hopes to have something to bring to the council by next month’s meeting.
The mayor also thanked the council and all of the people who worked hard to get the steps and sidewalk completed on the square.
