Robert Lilbourne, Director of Community Services presents his report on the Wayfinding Strategy. This project was a direct recommendation of the First Impressions Community Exchange that was conducted in 2018. Staff and members of the community worked with Entro Communications to develop a wayfinding system.
Councillor Brennan is concerned that the size of the logo on the wayfinding signs is not going to be visible due to the amount of detail in the logo. Robert Lilbourne, Director of Community Services shares that this was the company's recommendation.
Councillor Pelkman is pleased with the clean concept and wonders if there is a policy in regards to selling space on a municipal sign to businesses or organizations. Director Lilbourne confirms that these signs are for municipal use.
Councillor Cowan also likes the concept and the universal look but wonders about the sizing of the service club signs, if they will be big enough to be visible. Director Lilbourne confirms that the suggested size is the same as the current signage.
Councillor Flegel is happy with the look and asks if this project will be done in phases. He wonders if their will be options in order to involve more signage for private organizations within the municipality such as churches or community halls. Director Lilbourne explains that these options are open for discussion.
Councillor Kennes enquires in the case that a private organization requests and pays for a sign if their is or will be a policy in place. Director Lilbourne suggests that if that occurs the municipality will be responsibly for the signage to ensure it is consistent with the rest.
Councillor Baker suggests that guidelines and parameters be a part of that plan in the future.
