NYSDOT is ready to start hanging BGSes (Big Green Signs) on the major roads. I have decided to leave it up to you, the readers of Orleans County, to choose which font I should use on the signs.

These images are taken from JN Winkler's sign illustrations in this thread: http://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=575.450 All credit for images belong to him. I'll give y'all until...

I can tell you that construction has commenced in the northwest corner of the county, near Golden Hill State Park. Most of the mainlanes of both the Parkway and State Highway 63 have been completed.
