BG erects two LED message signs

Bowling Green city officials have a new way of communicating with city residents.

Two electronic message signs have been purchased, with one in front of the police station on West Wooster Street and the other by the public works area on East Poe Road.

The signs will alert residents about such items as traffic changes for construction or special events in the community, and about seasonal services such as brush pickup. The sign in front of the police station may also make public service announcements on buckling up and not drinking and driving.

The signs cost $10,250 each, according to Bowling Green Assistant Municipal Administrator Joe Fawcett.
