We’re thrilled to announce that Historic Uptown is getting new street signs, but we need your help to take the project beyond the basics.

To make sure every intersection reflects our shared identity, we’re raising funds to install signs at 25 intersections, two signs at each intersection, for a total of 50 signs.

  • Intersections with signals: 19 (signalized intersections paid for by the city)
  • Intersections with no signals: 25 (2 signs per intersections/~$79per intersection) = $1,975
  • Historic Uptown funded intersections: 7
  • Resident-funded intersections: 12
  • Intersections needing to be funded: 6

Each sign will feature our logo and read Historic Uptown Neighborhood, with the Historic District, when appropriate, listed below.

The cost per intersection is approximately $79.00
That adds up quickly, but with community support, we can make it happen.

Here’s how you can help:

  • Make a donation to the Historic Uptown Neighborhood. Every dollar brings us closer to our goal of
  • Coordinate with neighbors on your block to sponsor signs at your intersection.
  • Spread the word by talking to your friends, family, and fellow residents about contributing to the campaign.

Want to see what the signs will look like? Members of our team are working directly with the City’s Traffic Engineering office to finalize colors, materials, and placement. We’ll be sharing a finalized design soon, and we’re committed to making these signs both durable and beautiful.

This is a legacy project that will add charm, visibility, and neighborhood pride for years to come. Let’s invest in something we’ll all benefit from together.
