Wayfinding Sign Program • The wayfinding sign program includes design standards for directional signs, parks signs, public parking and other unique signage. • Goals: • develop design parameters to provide a consistent look to City signage to assist visitors and residents in wayfinding; • create design standards that can be replicated by the City Public Works sign shop; • create affordable and easily maintained signs; • reflect elements of City design already in use such as the wave pattern and the color blue) and identify key locations. • Review: design process in 2008 included presentation for discussion at DEMA meetings, Arts Commission and Planning Board • Importance of implementation of the wayfinding sign program referenced in the 2013 Strategic Plan and the 2014 Cultural and PROS Plans.

ver the past several years the Parks Department as used these guidelines for implementation of new ignage – for example, large directional signs .

Gateway Signs • The 2006 Streetscape Plan also identified gateways to the City, including Five Corners, SR 99, SR 104 & Main at the ferry, and SR 104 & 5 th Ave S. • The SR 104 & 5 th Ave S. sign, originally installed in the late 1970’s early 80’s, was identified for replacement in the 2016 CIP with a $40,000 budget for design, fabrication and installation.

• Location – WSDOT right of way – primary function is as a highway sign for SR 104 in an area where traffic is moving fast, 30 – 40 mph. • Goal to meet WSDOT requirements, but also be consistent with existing City sign program.
