York County’s stop sign replacement project well underway

YORK – York County’s stop sign replacement project is well underway, with about 400 already done.

​In September of 2023, the county agreed to participate in a state program which would provide all new reflective stop signs, “stop ahead” signs, posts and other materials. If the county would have had to pay for all of it, it would have cost $164,000.
The program was completely funded by the state and federal government, with county employees having the assignment of installing them all.
This week, as the commissioners were discussing the one- and six-year road program, they asked York County Highway Superintendent Harvey Keim how the project was coming along.

“They look really good, the new signs, in the dark,” said Commissioner Chairman Randy Obermier. “They are really visible.”
Keim said a total of 1,134 signs will be replaced in York County.
“When you get your annual report, you will see we have 400 done,” Keim said. “We have to wait until the frost goes out to start up again (to prevent damage to the bases). They will all need to be installed by 2025, which we can get done. Two guys are working on this project.”
“You really can see them in the dark,” Obermier said again.
