Page 2 REPORT NO. WD -65 -84 REPORT: In 1981 discussions and Council deliberations pertaining to land exchanges, zonings, etc., related to construction of an interchange on Highway 35/115 at Kirby, the matter of directional signing for the Clarke Museum and Archives was considered. It would appear that Council did agree at that time to consider directional signs. The Museum Board would now like to have the signs installed, and in accordance with M.T.C. Policy on such matters, (see attached), the recommendations of this report are appropriate. As there is involvement of three agencies, M.T.C., the Region and the Town, it is recommended that the Town co- ordinate the required actions and, in fact, supply and install the signs on both Regional Road 9 and Concession Road 7. Costs associated with such installation would be about $300 and could be charged to the Town's Street Sign Account 7211 -X- 00422 -X. Respectfully submitted, R.G. Dupuis, P.
