fairly dark, so it simulates the look of
a raw piece of blackened steel."
Signs by Crannie acted as the primary fabricator for the project. "We
used a variety of aluminum, everything from flat sheet to angled stock
to SignComp aluminum extrusion
cabinets and welded aluminum faces,"
said Daniel Crannie, the company's
president.
Another distinctive component
of the parking signage - which was
fabricated in three sizes (47, 49 and
55 in.) - is each sign's high-resolution
LCD monitor, which can display an
assortment of imagery, namely lot
availability and rates, as well as news,
promotional material, sports scores
and video. Signs by Crannie handled
the fabrication - including cooling
fans to disperse heat - while Townsend worked on-site to oversee the
electrical components.
"There was a lot of upfront work
dealing with infrastructure, the power
we needed, where the data was coming from and how the monitor will
network with the parking system and
the other informational systems that
they wanted to use," Townsend said.
Installation was slated for the end of
August, with the new parking signage
expected to go live in early September.
Veres, who is from Toledo, OH, an hour
south of Detroit, Crannie (a Flint native)
and Townsend (grew up just south
of Detroit) each took special pride in
the project.
"It's fantastic to be a small bit player
in a much bigger scope and to see
Detroit coming alive again," Veres said.
LEARNING TO LOVE
