Revitalization Commission <br />Agenda <br />November 14, 2011 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br /> Troy discussed the potential for municipal “off-premise” signage. <br />This would allow the city to control the sign regulations and <br />provide an equitable solution. <br /> Emily- This is a great conversation. This should be an opportunity <br />to provide “place making” and give people directions. This is an <br />opportunity to identify character. The parking and wayfinding are <br />not separate. <br /> Michael- I am in support of this action and support more signage <br />to direct patrons to all businesses. Agrees it is an opportunity to <br />encourage “place making”. This is a better solution than individual <br />signs for businesses. There should also be maps of parking at <br />businesses to help customers understand where parking is <br />located. The charge for signage should be minimal. The signage <br />should be pedestrian scale for the downtown. <br /> Bonnie – Front Street and Main Street should have equal <br />consideration for signage and wayfinding. <br /> Karl- The gateway of the community should be at a predictable <br />and easy locations. The signage should work for residents and <br />visitors. <br /> Bob- The wayfinding should be more than signage in the long- <br />term. The first phase of the signage is a good step. <br /> Rob - The ability to control signage will be critical in the first <br />phases. The signs should be adaptable and allow changes. <br /> Mayor – The signage should be provided by the city to help <br />businesses at no cost. The signage downtown will be unique <br />compared to other areas of the city. <br /> Linee Perroncel - Front Street business would benefit from <br />signage. There is currently not a difference of rent rates between <br />Front and Main. There is potential to coordinate with the newly- <br />formed arts groups on signage. The signage should not generate <br />more revenue than the capital and operational costs. <br /> Discussion of Vision for the Integrated Infrastructure Implementation Plan, <br />Louisville FasTracks Station Area & Hwy 42 Corridor <br /> December meeting will be an opportunity to discuss strengths, <br />weaknesses, threats, and opportunities (SWOT) for the study <br />area. <br /> Project website will be http://www.the42gateway.com/ <br /> Mayor would like to maintain contact and keep participants <br />engaged from the first workshop. <br />VIII.
