Goal 4: The City of Fayetteville will be a highly desirable place to live, work and recreate with thriving neighborhoods and a high quality of life for all residents.
Executive Summary:
A wayfinding system for the Center City Parks and Trails System and the African American Heritage Trail in the city of Fayetteville. The primary purpose of a wayfinding system is to move the public through a system of varying paths (i.e., trails, greenways, roadways, sidewalks, etc.) and environments (i.e., parks, plazas, urban areas, etc.), using a concise and comprehensive family of directional, informational, and confirmational messages.
Background:
The purpose is to expand upon the wayfinding recommendations in the previous Center City Parks & Trails Plan. This includes a graphic trail system map, expanded trail medallions, defined signage types and location standards, and an updated signage map. Refining the wayfinding system for the City of Fayetteville's Center City Parks and Trails must consider the complexity of the trail network, the variety of facilities and various contexts across the linear park system, as well as the various types of signage that is already in place.
