City Seeks Comment on Preliminary Wayfinding Sign Concepts

July 2, 2018 – The City of Wilsonville is seeking community feedback on three preliminary design concepts recently unveiled at an open house introducing the City’s Signage and Wayfinding Plan.

An online survey is available now at http://bit.ly/CitySignage. Responses are being collected through Monday, July 16.

“We are looking for as much detail as people are willing to provide,” said Planning Director Chris Neamtzu. “We want to hear opinions –supportive and critical – about the styles, colors, materials, fonts and shapes we’ve presented to help us move forward with a concept that the community supports.”

With design partner Alta Planning + Design, City planners will analyze community feedback, develop a preferred design, and present it to the Planning Commission and the general public for review this fall.

Each of the three concepts includes several sign types – including kiosks, park signs, sign toppers – to be placed near landmarks, neighborhoods and other local destinations throughout Wilsonville.

Wayfinding provides logical and safe connections between key destinations and commercial districts. The program provides safer passage for cyclists and pedestrians, expedites local vehicle traffic and welcomes and informs visitors.

The Signage and Wayfinding Plan was introduced as a  2017-18 City Council goal. The program supports the City’s Transportation System Plan and the Tourism Development Strategy.
