Crowsnest Pass Entrance Signs, Money well spent?

Well folks what you have below is the drawings for your new community entrance signs. 
This will cost us $200,000 for the two signs one in the East and one in the West. The politicians will argue that this is being paid for out of grant funding (MSI Capital) which is true but keep in mind that the community receives MSI funding from the province for both their capital and operational budgets. If the money is spent on a project like this then it obviously means that it is not being spent on some other project. 
There is never enough money available to pay for every project so then the question becomes is this project a priority? which would then make it the best use for those grant dollars. Are we has a community getting the best value for those grant dollars, would this be the public's choice for our communities gateway sign age?
