Executive Summary:
On December 4, 2018 at a Gateway Committee meeting, Council Member Waddell requested taking the definition of Gateway before Council to vote on. At the February 6, 2018 Gateway Committee meeting, the consensus was that one quarter of a mile from a major intersection will be recommended to define the term “Gateway”. The nine (9) major gateways that have been identified currently by staff and approved by the Gateway Committee are Murchison Road, Ramsey Street, Hwy 24, Raeford Road, Hwy 301, Bragg Boulevard, NC87, Hope Mills, and Legion Road.
Background:
The Gateway Committee recommended replacement of signage throughout the City of Fayetteville. Staff has since worked diligently with an architect to develop and refine a variety of sign options for placement throughout the City. Consideration was given to ensure aesthetically pleasing concepts displaying continuity in signage throughout Fayetteville.
Signage has been placed on Murchison Road, Ramsey Street, Hwy 24, Raeford Road, Hwy 301, and Bragg Boulevard. Signage will be placed on NC87, Hope Mills, and Legion Road.
