Discussion: Wayfinding Subcommittee Update- Laura gave a presentation on the <br />results of the Wayfinding subcommittee meeting (presentation included in the minutes). <br />The subcommittee wants to see a hierarchical system where major trail corridors are <br />identified and called "Trails" and all the smaller trails are called "paths." Each "trail" <br />would be identified by a relevant name, unique color, and unique symbol. Then a <br />simplified "regional" system map could be developed with the "trails" and major <br />landmarks. These "regional" maps could be paired with "local" maps at major trail <br />intersections and a property entrances. Laura included photos of a similar system on an <br />innovative kiosk that the City of Boulder uses. The process of creating "regional maps" <br />reveals some critical missing crossings and connections, and suggests that an east -west <br />connection between the Lake Park paths and down town is missing. Laura suggested <br />that a natural venue for this connection would be bike lanes down South Street, as it is <br />both wide and the location of the planned underpass beneath the train tracks. <br />Spencer voiced a warning about too much sign clutter. Linda liked the maps and the <br />color coding. <br />
