Phase 1 of signage and wayfinding program to roll out this summer
Squamish is getting new signs this summer! The much-anticipated signage and wayfinding program will roll-out its first phase in the near future. Signs are currently being manufactured.
The first phase will include: two Squamish gateway signs at the north and south ends of town on Highway 99; two Downtown signs (north and south, also on Highway 99); and a series of vehicular and pedestrian/cyclist signs in the Downtown vicinity and extending out to the Adventure Centre and Brennan Park along Loggers Lane. This phase will allow us to test a variety of aspects of the wayfinding system and make any adjustments before rolling out future phases. Priority setting for phase 2 will follow.
The roll-out of the phases will extend over five years to accommodate the budget. The first phase will cost $221,500 in 2017, the majority of which (77%) is being funded from accumulated surplus this year. The total budget over five years is proposed to be $1,275,000.
Below are renderings from the design phase; actual signs vary slightly due to the topography of where they’re located, content etc.
