New welcome signs being installed in 65 Detroit neighborhoods. Here’s where you’ll see them

DETROIT – New signs are being installed across 65 Detroit neighborhoods to welcome residents and visitors.

Mayor Mike Duggan and members of the Department of Neighborhoods and General Services Department unveiled the first new sign on Monday, according to a release from the city.

The new signage comes after city council members approved a $512,000 contract with Space Lab Development earlier this year.

“Every one of Detroit’s neighborhoods has its own name and its own identity and we wanted to celebrate the pride residents have in their community,” said Mayor Duggan. “Thanks to the American Rescue Plan Act, the City was able to help each neighborhood celebrate that pride.”

What do Detroit’s new welcome signs look like?

Each neighborhood will receive up to three wooden signs, which are more than six feet tall, and about four feet wide. Every sign will reflect the unique identity of each neighborhood, according to the city.

The city has partnered with Brightmoor Makerspace Association, a center that allows youth and adults "foster their creative skills, craftmanship, and business ideas."

Applications to request these new signs were sent to neighborhoods “with an active neighborhood association,” according to the city said.

The city’s general services department and residents worked together on the design of the signs. There were 39 colors, 10 sign shapes and three fonts that could be chosen for the signs.

Each sign includes the following:

• Neighborhood name
• Neighborhood slogan
• Year the neighborhood/association was established
• City logo and city of Detroit flag

“We as a department are excited to honor our neighborhoods by providing neighborhood signs that help identify the uniqueness of our communities. These neighborhoods have taken the time to organize associations and strengthen their communities for generations to come” Ray Solomon, Department of Neighborhoods Manager said.
