The Downtown San Diego Wayfinding Signage Project is intended to provide a highly visible andenhanced wayfinding system with vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle oriented signage that will facilitatea visitor-friendlyexperience when navigating throughout Downtown by addressing walking, cycling,efficient vehicle use,and parking. It is the intent of the project to connect visitors to popular destinationswith an integrated wayfinding program,in and around Downtown, including waterfront parks andmarinas,cruise ship terminals, the Gaslamp Quarter, Little Italy, PETCO Park, Horton Plaza and BalboaPark.

This proposed wayfinding system is comprised of both pedestrian and vehicular signage locatedthroughout Downtown’s street grid. The wayfinding system emphasizes design, legibility, consistency,sustainability, ease of maintenance, and adaptability. The graphic wayfinding elements are intended toserve all modes of transportation to, from and, within the project area. These modes include, but are notlimited to, private autos, commercial vehicles, bus and trolley transit, pedestrians (including those withdisabilities) and bicycles. The proposed audience for the wayfinding signage includes local, regional,national and international visitors to Downtown San Diego, as well as area residents, workers andstudents.

The project includes a new Downtown brand hierarchy which was developed through an extensive public outreach process with a basic menu of sign types. The wayfinding system consists of the ffollowing sign types:

• Destination Arrival• Gateway (Primary and Secondary)• District Arrival• District Icons• Pedestrian Kiosks• Parking Arrival• Parking Directional• Banners• Vehicular Directional (utility and individual pole signs)• Cast Metal Compass Signs integrated into the sidewalk providing district identification and North/Southorientation

Each of the sign types were designed to accommodate individual district identity within the pedestrianand neighborhood signs. The design references lines and organic shapes alluding to marine andcoastal shapes unique to Downtown San Diego, while emphasizing a vibrant, modern and diverse city

Re: SANDAG Smart Growth Incentive Program — Downtown Wayfinding Signage Program

Dear Ms. Cooper;

As Chair of the Centre City Advisory Committee (CCAC), the community planning group for downtown SanDiego, I’m writing to request your serious consideration of grant funding under the auspices of the SANDAGSmart Growth Incentive Program.

As you may know, the CCAC is a 28-member body that represents downtown homeowners, tenants, businessowners and civic organizations. As evidenced by our Community Plan, we embrace the notion that downtown isan appropriate place to absorb the region’s expected population growth and we welcome the density that wouldresult in our neighborhoods,. That being said, we firmly believe that supportive infrastructure must match thatdensity. That infrastructure comes, in part, in the form of active public open space and connective, navigablethoroughfares that support a broad range of transportation modes. To that end, we are championing grantfunding for four projects — two planning and two capital improvement projects. We believe strongly that thesubmitted projects are consistent with the goals for San Diego as a whole. Funding for these projects is anongoing challenge, so we are excited about the possibility of obtaining grants in order to continue our collectiveprogress toward a greener and more livable city.

Please allow this letter to serve as support for the Downtown Wayfinding Signage Program. This program hasthe ability to:

Help bicyclists, pedestrians and vehicles co-exist more successfully by making navigation routes clearand effectiveHelp establish neighborhood identities further increasing the character and aopeal or downtowncommunities, which will help to draw residents into this high-density environment

We believe this project will further our vision of the downtown community as described in the Community Planand encourage you to consider funding this initiative.

Thank you for your consideration and please do not hesitate to contact me if there is any additional informationor assistance that we can provide.

Res ectfully

Laura Garrett,Chair, Centre City Advisory Committee

Board Members,

The San Diego Downtown Residents Group strongly supports the application of Civic San DIego for your Smart Growth Incentive Program. Specifically for the Downtown Wayfinding Signage Program.

As a 25 year old organization representing home owners and tenants in Downtown we have always supported increasing the walkability and bicycle friendliness in our urban area. Our goal has always been to make Downtown a better place to live, work, and visit. Current signage in Downtown is old and does not lend itself to visitors not familiar with Downtown. The complete system has been publicly developed and use of Community Parking District funds for some of the system has been approved by the City Attorney. The project is ready for bid but lacks sufficient funds for completion.

Your grant for the Downtown Wayfinding Signage Program would provide the ability to complete this project and increase the ease of all in finding destinations and parking throughout the entire Downtown.

We strongly urge your support for this grant.

Sincerely,

Gary SmithPresident

RE: Support for Downtown Wayfinding Signage grant application

Dear Ms. Cooper,

The East Village Residents Group (EVRG) represents over ten thousand (10,000) residents who live inthe East Village District of Downtown San Diego. EVRG’s mission is to promote a better quality of life forevery resident of East Village. The East Village Residents Group wholeheartedly endorses the grantapplication submitted by Civic San Diego, aka Centre City Development Corporation, for the DowntownWayfinding Signage Program.

The Downtown Wayfinding Signage Program would identify neighborhoods throughout Downtown. Thesigns would designate the locations of the unique, and diverse areas located in greater Downtown SanDiego, which would make it easier for visitors and neighbors, alike, to gain a greater appreciation of theindividuality of our Districts. It would result in creating ease in the flow of traffic. Better signage wouldresults in easing traffic flow problems because of more convenient identification of destinations.

The East Village Residents Group would appreciate SANDAG considering the approval of grant moniesthrough the Smart Growth Incentive Program to promote neighborhood identification.

Village Residents [email protected]
