A. Improved signage in the area

1.  I-95 Access Signage.  The current Allegheny Avenue and Aramingo exit signs were modified per DOT standards to read "Port Richmond" as a destination.  I-95 exit signs were located at Allegheny and Aramingo Avenue North and southbound, to better inform traffic entering Port Richmond.

Street Signs.  The street signs were adopted to the standard street sign type that is situated above traffic signal posts, increasing legibility and visibility to the motorist.  These sign types would be situated at major intersections along Aramingo and Richmond Streets.  This was completed in 2006 and make traveling within the RCA's  boundary easier.

2.  Neighborhood Arrival Markers:  These signs mark the edges of the neighborhood.  They tie in thematically with the sign system and express the identity of Port Richmond.  Gateway signs clearly identify the major entrances to Port Richmond and enhance the visitor's experience.  They were located at the base of Allegheny and Aramingo Avenue exit ramps and the intersection of Richmond Street and Westmoreland Street.  In total roughly 100 of these markers dress the area.

3.  Destination Directional Signs:  These signs direct the motorist from the interstate or primary arterials to the primary Port Richmond destination points.

The Direction Philadelphia system could also be adopted for these sign types.  They are typically aluminum single-sided signs mechanically fastened to extruded aluminum or steel posts in a concrete footing.  Existing poles may be utilized where feasible to reduce costs and the number of obstructions.  The sign panels are a combination of paint, silkscreen and/or reflective copy; with a painted or anodized post.
