Westerwood Needs Sign Toppers, Too!

All too often, visitors and citizens wonder where exactly Greensboro’s neighborhoods are located. There are, after all, no lines on the ground to delineate the boundaries of the community.

In 2008, the Fisher Park neighborhood requested a pilot partnership with the City of Greensboro to place sign toppers atop their street signs in order to identifying their neighborhood. The Fisher Park Neighborhood Association organized a fund drive to pay for the signs. Twenty sign toppers were purchased and installed across the neighborhood that spring. The toppers have been placed at key intersections, boundaries, and favorite street corners and identify the borders of the Fisher Park neighborhood.

Sign toppers are common in major American cities as diverse as New York City, Portland, and Dallas. Sign advocates say they build community identity and pride, cultivate an awareness of the importance of history and preservation, and are a gentle reminder of the diversity of neighborhoods in each city.


With the installation of the Westerwood Roundabout Sign (pictured above), the new sign on Westover Terrace, and the myriad of neighborhood based events, Westerwood has truly begun to brand itself as one of Greensboro's best neighborhoods. 


Neighborhood Sign Toppers are the next step!!!
