Street name signs will be replaced over the next 18 months.

A typical street sign unit is actually comprised of four signs. The unit is disassembled and the individual signs are available to be purchased for $10.

If you do not see a Stillwater street that interests you listed, the sign may not have been replaced yet.

So the city urges those interested to check back often; or call to be placed on a waiting list for your favorite street sign.
