Broadway Gateway Signage

Please tell us what you think!

The Broadway Improvement District is considering a new gateway signage program that welcomes and informs those traveling into and through the Broadway district.

The design of the sign explores the use of ‘Broadway’ as a potential ‘branding’ strategy taking into account Fair Lawn’s only cinema (the Hy-way Theater) and hotel (the ‘new’ Hyatt Place) and builds on a number of district eateries such as Rose’s Place and Campania Restaurant.

While we continue to explore how best to strengthen and market the district to existing and new customers, please take a moment to give us your thoughts about the design that you see here.

Please contact Don Smartt, District Administrator at info@broadwaysid.com.

Bob Beshlian, President
Broadway Improvement Corporation.
