HONORARY STREET SIGN POLICY AND APPLICATION
POLICY
The City of Dickinson has established a policy with a review process and criteria for review for
the administration of requests for honorary street signs in the City. Honorary street name signs
are signs posted above standard city street name signs, which are intended to recognize and honor
certain individuals or groups without changing the official name of the street or the official
addresses or residences and businesses on the street. The City will coordinate with emergency
service's to ensure they are aware of the honorary street name in an effort to prevent confusion.
The honorary sign is of a similar size and shape as a standard street name sign, but it will be black
with white lettering to differentiate it from the green-and-white for public street sign. Street
designations will be determined on a case by case basis. The portion of a street so designated will
be determined by city staff. Only one honorary sign will be allowed at an intersection. The
honorary street names will be displayed for a minimum of 6 months and a maximum of 10 years,
as determined by city staff The City reserves the right to remove any sign at any time. The sign
will then be turned over to the requesting party, upon removal. No more than three (3) honorary
designations shall be awarded in the City per calendar year.
PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAM
The Honorary Street Sign Program allows citizens the opportunity to honor people and
organizations that have made significant contributions to the community. The program is
administered through the Administration Department. All supporting documentation is required
at the time of application submittal, along with a map of the requested sign location(s) and a fee
of$50 plus the cost of signs of$50 per intersection.
