Narrative:

I was at the timmerman, wisconsin airport (mwc) last weekend for training. This is a class D airport, the airport did not have any, any taxiway identification markers. Runways were marked, but txwys were not. With all of the emphasis on runway incursions, I believe this should be corrected immediately. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: tower personnel advised that airport management is aware of the condition, but advised that there was no funding to correct the problem. Tower spokesman advised that controller's must use generalized, geographical instructions, even though airport diagrams (commercial and local publications) identify taxiway's by FAA standardized lettering.

Title: BE36 PLT CONCERNED WITH LACK OF WMC TXWY SIGNAGE.

Narrative: I WAS AT THE TIMMERMAN, WISCONSIN ARPT (MWC) LAST WEEKEND FOR TRAINING. THIS IS A CLASS D ARPT, THE ARPT DID NOT HAVE ANY, ANY TXWY IDENTIFICATION MARKERS. RWYS WERE MARKED, BUT TXWYS WERE NOT. WITH ALL OF THE EMPHASIS ON RWY INCURSIONS, I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: TWR PERSONNEL ADVISED THAT ARPT MGMNT IS AWARE OF THE CONDITION, BUT ADVISED THAT THERE WAS NO FUNDING TO CORRECT THE PROB. TWR SPOKESMAN ADVISED THAT CTLR'S MUST USE GENERALIZED, GEOGRAPHICAL INSTRUCTIONS, EVEN THOUGH ARPT DIAGRAMS (COMMERCIAL AND LOCAL PUBLICATIONS) IDENTIFY TXWY'S BY FAA STANDARDIZED LETTERING.
