Commission reviews banner and wayfinding for Hailey Pond Park
Summary
Commission discussed a proposed banner and lamp-post signs for Hailey Pond Park, asked for design refinements and learned the vendor’s estimated lead time is about two to three weeks.
The Park Commission reviewed a proposed banner and lamp-post signs for Hailey Pond Park and asked staff and the designer to refine the artwork and confirm placement before ordering. Members discussed directional arrows for Day Street, materials and where banners would hang.
The discussion matters because wayfinding and visible signage can increase park use; the commission paused to ensure the design reflects the park’s appearance and fits available poles.
A staff member presented an image of the proposed banner and a smaller sign intended to match the existing park sign. Commissioners noted the mock-up is not a photographic rendering of the exact park approach and requested an updated image that better reflects the site and tree lines. Commissioners asked staff to share suggested changes by email if members wanted to propose edits. One member said the banners should be displayed year-round and that arrows should be oriented to guide drivers coming from different directions on Day Street.
Staff said the vendor who creates Main Street banners estimated a lead time of two to three weeks after final approval and that the material is durable (canvas cited as an example). The commission discussed placement options (lamp posts or poles) and asked staff to confirm the exact pole locations where the banners would hang. No formal vote or funding decision was recorded in the transcript.
The commission will await a revised artwork submission and comments from members not present at the meeting before placing an order.
