New sign coming to the corner of Main and Highway 16 soon

Smithers council has chosen a design idea for a new sign that will be installed at the corner of Main St and Highway 16.
Chair of the Main Street Merchants Corina Brewer says the purpose is to direct people to the down town core.
“For the merchants, when we first proposed the idea was for people driving through Smithers, that they don’t just drive through Smithers but see this big beautiful sign, something that catches your eye and look to the left or the right, depending on what way you are coming and turn down Main Street,” she says.
Council directed staff last night to come up with some options for wording and design but councillors did agree to go with a timber frame concept.
