Ouray city councilors voted last week to scrap a multiyear wayfinding project that would have installed a total of 61 signs on Main Street and elsewhere in town, some of which were like the one above. Six signs were put up last summer before two were removed in the fall in response to objections from residents and business owners. The council decided Feb. 17 to take down the remaining signs and cancel any further orders. Photo by Erin McIntyre | Ouray County Plaindealer
