St. John's hits pause on new sign

The City of St. John’s has received considerable feedback regarding the landmark sign that Council approved for placement in Bannerman Park at the June 17 Council Meeting.

Based on this feedback, Council has decided to pause plans for the sign in 2025 so that input can be reviewed and further community consultation can take place on the proposed location.

Multiple potential locations on city-owned land were considered before recommending Bannerman Park. Factors such as pedestrian access, accessibility, visibility, safe proximity to the road, electrical and wifi availability, and adequate space for gathering and photography were key considerations.
