New street signs for Oakesdale

New street signs are appearing in Oakesdale as the town begins replacement of each of its 108 street signs. The new green-and-white markers replace the black-lettering-on-white signs which were losing reflectiveness.

The town council voted in May to replace the signs, including buying a few new signs for streets previously unmarked. The cost is $4,581, which comes out of Oakesdale's streets fund.

Arriving in September, the new signs – which include directional additions of N, S, E, or W – are being put up by Oakesdale Public Works Director Bob Hooper.
