Mr. Koury said the BIA was holding their Apple Fest on Sat- urday, October 7 and there would be a parade of Classic and Antique Cars pass through the downtown about 11:00 a.m. He asked for permission to block the street off to parking for about one hour during the morning so the cars could park and people could view them. Although council had no ob- jections to the parade, they sug- gested they would rather see the entire street, from Water to John closed for the morning and have the antique cars park in the middle of the street for viewing. It is expected about 50 cars will take place in the parade. BIA member Bill Brock in- formed council that the group would like to install a large 8'x3' sign at the west entrance to Port Perry directing visitors to town to the historic down- town area. Mr. Brock suggested that the municipally owned intersection at 7A and Queen Street would be a good place for the sign. Councillor Marilyn Pearce said she hoped the BIA would also put signs at the other en- y NW : PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, September 19, 1989 -- 11 Downtown merchants trances to town, even if they were not large. Mayor Hall, who is council's member of the BIA said that it is the BIA's intention to put signs at all entrances, but they could not afford to in this year's budget. The sign, when installed, will be landscaped and maintained by the Business Improvement Area group. Council said they would check out the area, ind make a decision as to the location of the sign. MORE SIGNS In an unrelated item, Ken Koury informed council that there are a number of intersec- tions in the downtown area that do not have signs indicat- ing street names. He said the Business Im- provement Area would like to have signs for these roads made the . barrier-free at the BIA's expense, and asked if council would agree to having them installed. The signs proposed by the BIA decorative and be worded with "old Port Perry" or a simi- lar phrase along the top in small letters and the main street name in larger letters beneath. Cost of these signs to the BIA would be about $60 each for a total of about $2500. Mayor Howard Hall said that he couldn't believe the lack of signs in the downtown area. About 40 signs are required to signit properly. In general council all agreed there was a need for the signs, but were reluctant to give the go-ahead until they knew the cost involved. Mayor Hall sug- gested Mr. Koury work with roads superintendent Ronn MacDonald to get an estimate of the costs.
