Wayfinding Sign Program Hopes To Point The Way In Laguna Beach

LAGUNA BEACH, CA — The City of Laguna Beach will bring forward a design proposal for a Citywide Wayfinding Sign Program on Wednesday, April 5, 2017, during the Planning Commission’s regularly scheduled meeting at 6 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall (505 Forest Avenue).

The purpose of a Citywide Wayfinding Sign Program is to:

• inform and direct visitors and residents to their desired destinations, amenities and features
• enhance urban design
• reinforce community identity
• enhance the visitor and resident experience
• reduce driver, pedestrian and bicyclist frustration
• improve traffic flow and safety.

"City staff and wayfinding sign consultant Graphic Solutions will present recommended design intent drawings and schematic sign locations to the Planning Commission on April 5,"Gregory Pfost, Director of Community Development said in a recent statement.

After Planning Commission review, the project will be reviewed by the City Council.

"The City’s goal is to implement the first phase of signs prior to the start of the 2017 summer festival season," Pfost said.
