Riverside Art Market Signage

What about using the permanent digital traffic update signs that are already in place?  Their location isn't ideal as they're not close to the exit (at least going NB), but I've seen them programmed for TPC, Jags, etc.

That was my original thought because 1) The signs are easily moved to the area and 2) they're really easy to reprogram. So it's not like it would cost the city a million dollars.

Just force some dude who's probably sitting around on our dime anyways to do a short bit of work.

but for a farmer's market, it isn't a major event.

Speaking of those permanent digital traffic signs, is it really that important to tell people heading north on !-95 to use the main street bridge to get downtown because the Hart Bridge is closed?  Do large numbers of people normally get off of I-95 and take the Hart Bridge to get into downtown?

But shouldn't it be? Aren't we trying to extol the cultural virtues of our wonderful city? It's a lot more than just a "farmer's market".

It is hardly significant enough to need a sign on I-95, it really isn't a big deal. I'm aware it is moer than a farmer's market, but that is what I happened to type, but whatever.

I'd hardly call it a "cultural virtue" as well, that's just my opinion.

Some signage is needed. Living in Riverside I can't tell you how many times I had to give friends directions to 5 points and how surprised I was that it was such a difficult place to find.

If this thing gets any bigger, they'll ahve to find a bigger location, or expand it over more areas of Riverside or Brooklyn.

I thought the plan was to expand up underneath the overpass to the north on the other side of Riverside Ave?

It seems every week the number of vendors is getting smaller and smaller. I don't know if there is much demand for expanding RAM. Personally I've been kind of disappointed lately with the RAM offering. The produce is limited and most booths have the same offerings. The 'art' has been blah.
No hand made jewelery vendors, no homemade pet treats. It's become a place to grab a snack lunch and watch a performance or two.

I dropped by the Farmers Market in Fernandina Memorial Day weekend and was really impressed with booths there. It was much smaller than RAM of course but every vendor was unique.



And on a side note.... where-tf is the dock?!
