Open Space Advisory Board <br />Minutes <br />October 8th, 2014 <br />Page 2 of 6 <br />informative, easy to follow, long - lasting, memorable, empowering, and intriguing. <br />Kristin also wants to emphasize how the city's wayfinding links up to regional corridors. <br />Scott Belonger from Loris & Associates spoke second. Loris is an engineering firm that <br />works primarily on trails and trail design and has led many projects in Louisville. Scott <br />wants to make recommendations for structural improvements to promote connectivity <br />and improving wayfinding. <br />Patsy McEntee from Terre Sky Studio spoke next. Patsy is a landscape engineer with <br />expertise in municipal trails. She wants to make sure that Louisville "brands" its trails, <br />so that City of Louisville trails feel different from Boulder County trails, etc. Patsy wants <br />to develop a trail hierarchy with emphasizing major trail corridors ( "spines," "arteries "), <br />to revise the trail map, to identify "destinations" to include on trail maps, and to develop <br />a public outreach/education campaign. Patsy and Scott are Louisville residents and they <br />also see this as an opportunity to give back to the city. <br />There are four parts to the project (each presented by different team members): <br />Signs (Kristin): The team will come up with three concept options (including text, color, <br />and symbols) to present to OSAB. Then the team will identify sign locations and a <br />phasing plan. This will be an iterative concept, where the sign concepts will continue to <br />evolve until the installation. <br />Trails (Scott): The team will establish a trail hierarchy, a naming system, suggestions for <br />infrastructure improvements to enhance connectivity, a phasing plan, and cost estimates. <br />Mapping (Patsy): There will be several kinds of mapping projects that fall within this <br />project. The team will improve the public map, emphasizing major corridors and <br />destinations. They will create a better sign inventory map, including proposed new sign <br />locations, to help with maintenance issues. They will also provide a map for internal use, <br />suggesting trail improvement locations, including connections and crossings. <br />Education & Outreach (Kristin & Patsy): The team wants to get feedback from citizens <br />about usage and safety concerns. Also, the rules /safety campaign can be implemented <br />here. They also proposed getting the public involved in naming trails. <br />Kristin had some photos of wayfinding signs from other communities that she wanted <br />OSAB to evaluate for aesthetics, context, format /scale, and content. The board got up <br />and looked at the samples and gave feedback about what they liked. <br />Tom commented that what he thought was lacking from the presentation was any sort of <br />evaluation or follow -up plan. Six months later, can we evaluate whether the new system <br />works? Patsy suggested that CDOT may lend out trail counters for testing whether user <br />volume improves. Other OSAB members suggested that evaluating success might be <br />more qualitative than quantitative. <br />Laura commented that she did not see a lot of rules and regulation signage in Kristin's <br />sample photos. Ember reassured the board that some safety /rule signage will be part of <br />
