In exchange, the City will handle the replacement, storage, and placement of signs at crosswalks along
Lakeshore Drive. M. Smith stated the BID should not be contributing as it falls in the city’s role of
responsibility. E. Bodman stated that there should be signage for bicyclists and enforcements as they
