10 pgs, 2.6m

The first preliminary concepts currently under review and discussion.
Advance Planning has retained the design firm of Nuszer-Kopatz to assist in creation of a Downtown Wayfinding Plan. The plan will contain schematic design of a sign system. The signs (and any other complementary elements in the system) will:
- organize message content of all sign types;
- help residents, visitors, and guests park, navigate the area, and find destinations easily; and,
- enhance the image and identity of downtown.
The wayfinding plan will replace the 1988 Downtown Sign System Schematic Design. The project will:
- evaluate the existing sign inventory and recognized signage needs
- review experience with 1988 schematic design for downtown sign system
- acknowledge possible related systems (e.g. interpretive systems; wayfinding along the Mason Corridor; Poudre River corridor signage; the interface with CSU)
- design a flexible system of parts allowing for adaptation to future applications,
with a system of sign families, message content, graphics, materials, mounting recommendations, lighting, and any electronic components, to Schematic design level.
Parking signage is the top priority, including:
- Parking garages and lot vehicular directional
- Parking garages and lot pedestrian directional
- Parking garages and lot identificationThe wayfinding plan should also consider:
- Interstate signage and other signs to direct people to downtown Fort Collins from city entryways
- Downtown gateways
- District identification
- Point-of-interest and facility identification
- Parking regulations
- Bus stops
- Vehicular control (e.g., panels for standard MUTCD signs)
- Kiosks
