Divided Council Supports LED Lighting for New Senior Center and Recreation Center Sign

The Highland Park City Council has approved a controversial plan to install a digital monument sign at the park district’s shared facility on Park Avenue West, with a split vote of 4-3. The proposed sign, designed by The Holland Design Group, aims to enhance the marketing of community programs and events, incorporating eye-catching graphics. Supporters, including Mayor Nancy Rotering, argue it modernizes the facility and promotes aesthetic improvements, while opponents express concerns about the LED lighting’s potential to detract from the area’s character, fearing it could create a “Las Vegas strip” effect. The total project cost is approximately $129,000, with a split expenditure between the city and the park district. Key discussions centered on design elements such as the LED display and the overall impact on the community’s image. The City Council’s decision reflects ongoing debates about balancing modernization with maintaining the city’s character.
