Here in Burlington, we recently had a new parking garage built just across the street from us. It also doubles as housing some government offices and a new tourist information centre on the first 2 stories. (Additionally, there will be a cafe/bakery opening soon to which I’m looking forward.)

One slight problem, however, is that the city has started posting signs about the “new” downtown tourist information centre, with street signs that eventually direct people to Locust St., where the garage/office building is located. But they still haven’t put any signage up on the building itself. There’s nothing that says “Here it is!” to people who turn onto the street. (There are some small pieces of paper on the door, but nothing that’s visible from a passing car.)

For anybody who lives here, it’s obvious – but people who live here don’t need the centre in the first place. People who don’t live here (tourists) are just as likely to drive right on by without knowing that they’ve passed it.

What we need now is a center for people who are trying to find the new center. Or just the signage on the building that should have been there by now…
