The City’s undertaking a program to upgrade street signs from aluminum fiberglass (they’re shinier and last longer), and so the Department of Transportation is selling the old street signs for $5-15, depending on condition. SDOT’s put up a list of available signs (pdf here), or you can check the signs out in person at the City’s Surplus Warehouse at 3807 Second Ave. S. More info is available on the Surplus Warehouse website. The program is funded by the Bridging the Gap repair levy, which was approved a few years ago. By 2016, every neighborhood will have had their signs replaced--so if you want a particular sign, just wait. more ›
