This is one of three aging signs that welcome drivers to Lafayette. Stakeholders, especially in the Acalanes area on the west edge of the city who originally brought up the need for repairs, are concerned that their idea has morphed into the replacement of all three city welcome signs. The directors and landscape committee of the Acalanes Valley Homeowners Association have not liked any of the proposed contemporary designs put forth by the city, describing them as "stark" and "cold." The group and the city are meeting to discuss the matter - whatever direction that takes, a proposal for new signs would have to go through the Planning Commission. C. Tyson
