Origin

(April 30, 2013) Report from the General Manager, Transportation Services

Summary

The purpose of this report is to request for City Council's approval to sell decommissioned street name signs (not including oversized street name signs) to the public.  Since the implementation of the consolidated street name sign design in 2007, Transportation Services Division has received over 675 requests to purchase decommissioned street name signs.

 

To facilitate the sale of decommissioned street name signs, it is proposed that an inventory of the signs be posted on the City of Toronto website for the public to review.  It is recommended that the decommissioned street name signs be sold at a price of $30.00 per sign, on a first come-first serve basis.
