New Airport Signs Cost $2 Million

Reported in the US press today - that as a result of being faced with complaints that an estimated 20,000 people show up at the wrong terminal each year at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport , the MAC (Metropolitan Airports Commission) has been considering proposals to change the terminal names on the signs and list the airlines that fly out of each terminal. The price tag to make sure people get to the right terminal at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport has soared to $2.2 million, more than twice the original estimate.

It also looks like efforts to keep the Humphrey and Lindbergh names on the costly new signs have failed. Instead, the signs will direct people to the more generic Terminal 1 [Lindbergh] and Terminal 2 [Humphrey]. The cost went up, according to MAC, after studies of the current signs showed that some of the supports are not big or strong enough to hold the new, larger signs. In addition, five new signs are needed.

The initial cost estimate of $1 million provoked complaints and a surge of advice from do-it-yourselfers who offered to do the job for less. "Give me a bucket of white paint and a brush!" wrote one StarTribune.com reader. "I'll make the new signs and I'll only charge $500k!"
