Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The museum must revise its sign design before the council will consider approval, particularly the logo and color choices. The council said the sign should identify the site without looking like an advertisement or setting an unsuitable precedent in a historically sensitive location. Applications for signs at 28 Easy Street and 8 Washington Street were approved, and a projecting sign at 14 Federal Street was approved through staff with lighting limited to when the store is open and no more than 15 watts.
