City Council is expected to remove a ban on way-finding signs for businesses on the side streets of the Downtown Mall at tonight’s meeting, according to local news sources.
The signs were first removed during the Mall’s rebricking. Council explained the signs were problematic for the visually impaired, hence their removal.
Local business owners, however, complained that explanation did not come until after the signs were removed without notice.
After Council meets this evening, Charlottesville officials plan to work with local side-street business owners to develop a permanent solution by July 14th.
The final approved signs should be in place by the end of July.
