The structure is scaled to be the same as the one-story commercial building the sign orginally sat on. Walls would be nice, but would require more money to build, and the need for heat, A/C and likely plumbing for bathrooms to get an occupancy permit. It would also create a dark hidey-hole unless you installed windows.
The open-air structure will do the trick and there will be Route 66 kiosks/information under it.
