SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — 2,000 street signs will be replaced in North Scranton, Green Ridge, East Scranton, and the plot section this year.
It’s all part of the City of Scranton’s expansive street sign project announced by Mayor Paige Cognetti.
A high-contrast green background and white text, recommended by PennDOT, will be added to the signs.
It will make them easier to see, especially in low-light conditions, as well as help both drivers and emergency first responders navigate to their destination more easily.
Approximately 2,500 faded and damaged signs throughout other parts of the city have already been replaced starting back in 2020.
