The latest, from Oct 20: Pierre Rademaker was paid $2,700 for wayfinding signage. The city was already executing signage work, so this is an implementation signal rather than an open purchase. It matters because signage programs often lead to follow-on design, fabrication, or replacement needs across other city sites.
