Which Monterey Wayfinding Sign Do You Like Best?

Posted on August 8th, 2016 by lighthouseave

Between now and Friday, August 26, please take this one-question survey to let the City of Monterey know which Wayfinding Sign design you like best!

The City of Monterey is working in collaboration with Hunt Design to update our Wayfinding Signs. This is a very important project as the development of an overall Wayfinding philosophy and graphic standard can provide valuable information and communicate an organized and friendly city, without distracting from its visual beauty.

The Wayfinding Sign Program goals are:

1) Direct and orient users to main destinations

2) Guide first time visitors to destinations efficiently

3) Get drivers parked near destinations and out of their cars to ease congestion

4) Support circulation between destinations for all users (drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians)

5) Unify and refresh public signage throughout the City.

We appreciate your input. Please vote on your preferred design concept!

Thanks to Associate Civil Engineer Andrea Renny, who wrote this article first published in the City of Monterey's City Focus Summer 2016 newsletter.

Custom House Store Update, Summer 2016

Posted on August 2nd, 2016 by Custom House Store

In early April, the Custom House Store, located inside the Monterey's historic Custom House, celebrated our grand opening. Board members Harish Joshi, Bende Kelly, Jill Lynch, Susan Miller, and Gayle Paul acted as hosts, greeting visitors and giving out small gifts. Musical entertainment was provided by Kevin Hanstick, Terrence Farrell, and Pat Skinner; we thank them for donating their time and talent.

Our new home is bright and well designed, thanks to State Parks architect Mike Zuccaro and the park maintenance staff. The lovely maple cabinets were built by River City Millwork in Sacramento. Funding for them came from a donation to State Parks from the Big Sur Half-Marathon and a grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Merchandise in the Custom House Store includes both past favorites and new additions. You’ll still find a fine selection of old-fashioned toys; marbles are a customer favorite. We have blank cards by local artists, featuring pressed flowers, wildflowers, and art from the park collection. We carry Bonny Doon soaps, salves, and essential oils. Papel picado garlands and Chinese tea bricks like those on display in the museum portion of the Custom House are available for purchase. Postcards and magnets with images of historic buildings are popular tourist items. There’s not room to list everything, so you will need to visit and see for yourself.

Our continued success is dependent on the generosity of our volunteer storekeepers, and we always need more. We welcome new storekeepers! If you would like to join us, please contact State Park Interpreter Michael Green by phone at 831-649-7172.

CFMC Creates Soberanes Fire Fund

Posted on August 1st, 2016 by lighthouseave

The Community Foundation for Monterey County (CFMC) has created the Soberanes Fire Fund to assist the affected communities in recovery efforts from the Soberanes Fire which began July 22, 2016.

The CFMC has waived all administrative fees so 100% of donations will be used for grantmaking. The funds will be used to make grants to nonprofits and organizations directly assisting individuals to meet needs as they arise. We are working in close partnership with the Coast Property Owners Association to deploy resources where they are most needed.

Grants will be made to agencies providing emergency assistance, health and human services, short term housing/rental assistance, and other immediate relief or long-term recovery support for the affected residents.

The fund will provide a trusted repository for philanthropic assets to be directed specifically for this purpose. For more information, call 831-375-9712 or visit www.cfmco.org/soberanesfire.
