Commissioners discuss trail connectivity, mapping errors and consistent park signage
Summary
Commissioners urged a coherent trail map, consistent park signage and corrections to public mapping; they discussed adding trail maps, QR codes and park signs to guide residents and visitors.
Multiple commissioners urged the city to produce a clear trail map showing how parks and trails connect so visitors can plan longer walks and reach different features. One commissioner recommended a large looping trail showing connections from Waterfront Park to Arcadia Park and the library, while others suggested including park maps on signs placed at each park.
The group also flagged a mislabeling on Google Maps that incorrectly located East Slope Park; staff agreed to follow up and encouraged using wayfinding improvements and park signage to correct public perceptions. Suggestions for outreach included QR codes at parks, sandwich boards at farmers markets and a possible scavenger hunt to familiarize residents with smaller neighborhood parks.
