On July 18, 2023, the Central Virginia Transportation Authority convened to discuss the Fall Line Wayfinding Plan, focusing on the construction and maintenance of trails and the associated wayfinding signage. The meeting highlighted the importance of clear communication regarding maintenance responsibilities and the need for effective data collection for the project.

A key topic of discussion was the maintenance of the physical trail and the wayfinding signage. Participants acknowledged that while basic directional signage would be provided at critical points, such as trail turns and crossings, the extent of maintenance for more detailed wayfinding elements was not initially anticipated. This raised questions about which sections of the trail would fall under the maintenance of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and which would require separate oversight. The meeting underscored the opportunity to clarify these responsibilities through the wayfinding plan, ensuring that all stakeholders understand their roles.

Data collection was another significant focus. The team discussed the need for high-quality graphic elements, specifically requesting logos and seals in vector-based formats to ensure they could be effectively used in signage manufacturing. Chet, a participant in the meeting, acknowledged Phil's efforts in gathering necessary materials, indicating that most logos had already been collected, although some local seals were still outstanding. This data collection is crucial for the next steps in the project, which include conducting visual and photographic surveys of the trail.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to continue refining the wayfinding plan and addressing any outstanding issues related to maintenance and data collection. As the project progresses, the Central Virginia Transportation Authority aims to enhance the trail experience for users while ensuring that maintenance responsibilities are clearly defined and understood.
