BEN BOLT - Ben Bolt residents will see nearly 70 new street signs installed in the next few days.
County Commissioner Wicho Gonzalez stated the lack of signs in the area has become a safety issue when emergencies arise involving emergency medical services (EMS) or the fire department. In Ben Bolt, it s normal to hear directions given by landmarks at the yellow house on the left make a right at the blue house on the corner take a left, Gonzalez said jokingly. Many of our streets do not have any signs at all and the ones that are up are old and need to be replaced.
