Action Requested
Discuss options for business signage along US Highway 169 post-construction.
Background/Discussion
The conversion of four major signalized intersections along US Highway 169 to interchanges will have a
significant impact to our community and on how motorists locate and access our local businesses. One of the key
elements to this discussion is signage.
Our current sign ordinance may not support the continued success and growth of businesses impacted by access
changes along US Highway 169. Staff and the Elk River Chamber of Commerce would like the Planning
Commission to discuss possible sign ordinance changes as the project nears its end in 2024.
Staff will provide examples of signs and ordinances in the surrounding community to facilitate the discussion.
