City Street Sign Replacement Progressing Along 37th Street

Evans Sign Shop in high gear improving citywide signage.

The City of Evans’ in-house Sign Shop is actively working to improve signage throughout the community, helping make streets safer, easier to navigate, and more visually consistent across the city.

The Sign Shop plays an important role in maintaining Evans’ transportation infrastructure. Signs are produced locally by the City’s Sign Technician and installed in the field with the assistance of Public Works Technicians. When older or damaged signs are removed, materials are responsibly recycled whenever possible.

Work Currently Underway

Crews are currently replacing and installing new street signs, stop signs, speed limit signs, and other roadway signage across Evans. As part of this work, damaged posts are also being replaced and all sign posts are being properly secured to ensure long-term durability and safety.

Current work is focused along 37th Street, beginning at 65th Avenue and moving west to east toward 1st Avenue. More than half of this corridor has already been completed.

Once work on 37th Street is finished, crews will move on to 42nd Street, followed by additional north–south arterial roadways throughout the city. The project prioritizes Evans’ busiest roadways first before progressing to collector streets and neighborhood roads.

Investing in Safety and Efficiency

Maintaining an in-house Sign Shop represents a smart and responsible use of taxpayer dollars. Producing signage internally allows the city to fabricate signs faster, ensure they meet exact specifications, and complete the work at a lower cost than contracting the service externally.

New signage across Evans also provides several important benefits for the community, including:

• Improved roadway safety for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians

• Easier navigation throughout the city

• Compliance with required retroreflectivity standards that ensure signs remain visible at night

• A cleaner, more uniform appearance across city streets

• Consistent branding that strengthens Evans’ identity

This ongoing effort represents another example of proactive infrastructure maintenance and thoughtful investment that helps keep Evans moving forward.
