Committee reviews draft trail wayfinding sign design, considers QR-code maps and sponsors
Summary
Members examined a draft main 'you are here' trail sign and smaller site lists, discussed which park destinations to show, restroom icons, optional QR-code linking to a digital map, and potential sponsorship labeling; staff will circulate editable prints for mark-up.
The committee reviewed a draft wayfinding/signage concept intended to guide trail users to parks and points of interest. The Chair described a main hub sign showing "you are here" plus mileage to other parks and smaller, site-specific posts: "this was the layout that you guys liked... it would say, you are here," he said while showing the draft rendering.
Members debated which destinations should appear on a main sign — Echo Park and Timber Park were suggested; committee members cautioned against duplicating nearby parking labels. The group agreed a QR code linking to a larger map would be useful; one member called the QR idea "a really cool idea" because it would allow users to carry the map on their phones. Discussion covered including restroom icons and whether to add sponsored distance labels (Fred Meyer and fairgrounds were mentioned as possible sponsors). Staff said they would circulate the full rendering and printed copies for members to mark up and return feedback at the next meeting.
Ending: The committee favored a two-tier approach (a large main hub sign plus smaller list signs at entrances) and asked staff to collect edits and return an updated draft for final feedback.
