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.
