In October, our association board hired Blue Square Contracting to have the old, weather-faded street signs taken down (17 signs in all). The signs had become an eyesore after new signs were installed by the city many years ago. The city of Kentwood was initially contacted to see if they would remove them, but because most of the signs stood on private property, it was determined that it was the neighborhood’s responsibility. The signs were taken down all at once, quickly and safely. Thank you to Blue Square and to homeowners who gave their consent to have the signs removed from their property. And a big thanks to Jan DeWitt and Angie Hinkle for spear-heading the project and making it happen.
During this project, PEHOA also discovered that the city had failed to install the newer street signs at two intersections in the neighborhood: Lockmere & Londonderry and at Waterbury & Pembroke. That installation was also completed recently by the city at their expense.
