Honorary Street Sign Toppers
An honorary sign topper is a decorative metal sign that is installed on top of the existing standard green and white street name identification signage. Honorary street sign toppers recognize the contributions and/or significance of distinctive neighborhoods and community leaders in Sacramento.
FoCM applied for and was granted permission to create and install a historic sign topper to demarcate the boundaries of the Capitol Mansions Historic District in July of 2018. The association commissioned art work from a FoCM member and the signs were submitted to the City for production and installation. The project was funded entirely by donations from the FoCM members.
