'How Do I Get To...?' to be Answered by Directional Signs

Chances are, if someone asked you where Kurth Park was, you may be able to answer that question if you lived near Kurth Park. Or Idle Isle Park. Or Lake Denoon Middle School. You get the picture.

This is the point behind City of Muskego planners' presentations to various committees to review a wayfinding signage plan, which would assist motorists to find area destinations. Jeff Muenkel with the planning department has worked with Lemberg Signs, which has created the other gateway signage and the signs at the city hall complex, to create a concept for review.

About 28 large signs as well as 16 smaller signs would direct people to such resources as the library, schools, government facilities and parks. Some would be pole-mounted and provide arrows to assist motorists where to go to 'get there.'

Muenkel told the Community Development Authority Tuesday night that the cost of $12,000 represented a "vastly less expensive" option than neighboring cities, as much of the planning for the signage was done by Muenkel. The Janesville Road project also presented the perfect opportunity to incorporate the signs in the streetscaping plans, he said.

A full presentation of the various sign concepts will be given Tuesday night at the Common Council meeting, and will allow for input by the various city committees before they are created.
