City of Mound /Mound Harbor District <br />Exterior Sign Design & Wayfinding <br />Mound, Minnesota <br />The newly named 'Mound Harbor District' includes a new <br />wayfinding signage plan which addresses the flow of visitors in <br />this multimodal community, comprised of transit stops, bicycle <br />trails, restaurants, shelters, public facilities, pertinent shopping <br />and services, residential and office areas. Just as important, <br />is visualizing exit and egress patterns. When a visitor enters and <br />exits the district for the first time the sign system reinforces a <br />stable, safe, and welcoming environment. <br />The sign system consists of over 32 unique signtypes from area <br />identification to directional maps, and finally, standard <br />regulatory signage. The sign design complements the area <br />history as reflected in surrounding bridge design and the street <br />landscape. <br />The signage integrates the concept of "Interconnectedness" <br />into the visitor and user experience. The interconnectedness of <br />the Mound Harbor District site is pertinent to surrounding areas <br />and the transit links via water, land and air traffic. <br />The design creates and communicates the excitement, size, <br />and scope of the Mound Harbor District as a vibrant city center <br />"Main Street" with amenities including: Lost Lake Canal, bike <br />paths, roadways, and future LRT linking neighboring communi- <br />ties of Minnetrista, St. Boni, Spring Park, Wayzata, and Navarre. <br />c, <br />'� Iii:, <br />t , — <br />i tie, s r. <br />ONLY ONLY �! <br />VisualCommunications <br />475 Cleveland Avenue North Suite 223 Ivy League Place Saint Paul, MN 55104 <br />
