WELLINGTON, Colo. — The advisory board on Sept. 10 reviewed revised park-map artwork and provided staff with design guidance: enlarge the main map, reduce topographic detail, clarify trail and sidewalk types, and ensure facility icons (bathrooms, parking, bike stations) are placed accurately.

"If you just looked at that and said, oh, there's a bathroom there and you put it, like, let's go Oh, yeah. Like the Wellington Community Park. There's not a bathroom anywhere around there," said Billy Coates, noting that bathroom icons must accurately reflect facility locations.

Staff and board discussed two presentation options: one that places the amenities legend adjacent to the large map (preferred by some staff) and one with a larger central map with amenities listed separately. They directed staff to keep the map visually clean and to avoid over-cluttering with too many icons; the preferred approach was to list amenities adjacent to each park rather than crowd the map with every facility icon.

Other suggestions included adding kiosks or trailhead signage with a printed pull-out map and QR codes that link to the digital version; including bike-fix stations and bike-lane markers; showing regional trail connections and underpass links; and incorporating state wildlife-area references via QR links or supplemental pamphlets. Staff noted they will also identify underpasses and connectivity to regional trails and will refine trail symbology so sidewalks and multiuse paths are distinguished correctly.

Next steps: Staff will forward noted edits to the contractor, ask for updated art that shows accurate amenities and underpass connections, add QR links to digital content, and return a revised draft for final review and print-kiosk planning.
