SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA – September 26th, 2012 – Have trouble finding your way around San Jose? Well, it might get a little bit easier when tomorrow the municipality of San Jose begins to put up street signs to identify the streets and avenues of the city.
The municipality says the idea is to have a more precise and easier system to locate addresses in San Jose.
A total of 16,000 signs will be placed within the capital city.
Once the main roads are identified, buildings and homes will also be assigned numbers so that they can be more easily located.
The project was financed by the Banco Nacional and Banco de Costa Rica, and as such will carry the banks’ logos.
The cost of the project will be 600 million colones (about $1.2 million USD).
