Wayfinding Policy and Signage Concepts Approval
Dissent: Chair Christensen [00:13:31] and another Commissioner [00:17:15] voiced strong opposition to the 'bump out' design element, advocating for a simpler, rectangular sign, despite the overall motion passing unanimously.
Moved by Commissioner Wally [00:32:11] · Seconded by Unknown [00:32:14]
The commission debated the aesthetic 'bump out' feature for the logo on park signs, with Chair Christensen and another commissioner initially expressing preference for a clean, square design without it. A public commenter, Philip, advocated for the bump out, citing its sentimental value and creative aspect. Ultimately, the commission approved Option 2A, which includes the bump out, along with specifications for wood posts, composite panels, and metal brackets. The policy was also considered for its balance between consistency and flexibility, especially for external funding partners and regional trail integration.

I have to say that just in general, option B is feels more more appropriate, like kind of proper reinforcingness. Uh less pretentious. Uh...A without the bump out. A without the bump out. That that would be my vote.
I love how I I feel that a sign in a park uh it's not just a sign. Um I take not lots of pictures with a sign of the park and my kids. And even if it's a little bump there, you know, that little creative side I think highlights a picture 30 years from then of like we went to this park.
Signs aren't meant to be an art piece. And it's like we're crossing that line. This is This is informational. Yeah, it can look good, but it's not Let's see how cool we can make this sign. No, the park is what we want to highlight.
