Origin
Summary
On Wednesday, November 20, 2013, the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee discussed item PW27.5 the Sale of Decommissioned Street Signs and approved a framework for the sale of the signs.
The Committee also requested the General Manager, Transportation Services, meet with the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture, and report to City Council on options for artists to create public art installations with the retired street signs.
Transportation Services has already received over 3000 requests from the public to purchase signs which indicates how strongly residents feel about these "pieces of Toronto". The street signs also provide an exciting opportunity for artists who are interested in making work using such a compelling material in the creation of pieces of art that are reflective of the rich and dynamic history of our City.
