Commissioner Trude indicated visibility will be improved with a larger color sign. Mr. Dickinson indicated he has talked with Doug Fischer, the Anoka County Engineer regarding sign locations. The electronic reader board location at Crosstown Boulevard and Bunker Lake Boulevard should not be a problem; if the parcel is owned by the County they would want a license agreement. The same would be done for the monument sign on the east end of Bunker Lake Boulevard.
