City of Mound /Mound Harbor District <br />Location Plans & Map Design <br />Mound, Minnesota <br />Visually attractive and understandable map design is <br />the key to successful wayfinding in high density areas. <br />i Visual Communications creates maps for all phases of <br />wayfinding. The location map (bottom left) was <br />designed to clearly illustrate locations of regulatory <br />signage for city and county review and approval. <br />The location map also serves as an installation <br />document for fabricators and future maintenance. <br />The directory map (top right) depicts land, wateways, <br />and key destination points. Streetscape details have <br />been simplified to emphasize key locations which are <br />shown with the use of international pictograms. A <br />guide highlights "Points of Interest" and provides <br />pictogram information alphabetically for quick <br />reference. <br />The "connection" from Auditor's Road, the City's new <br />main street which overlooks the historic Lost Lake <br />Channel, to Shoreline Drive, was completed in the <br />summer of 2010. The newly named "Mound Harbor <br />District' includes a new wayfinding signage plan <br />which addresses the flow of visitors in this multimodal <br />community - pedestrians, bicyclists, transit commuters, <br />and automobile traffic throughout the area to transit <br />stops, bicycle trails, restaurants, shelters, public <br />facilities, pertinent shopping and services, residential <br />and office areas. Just as important, is visualizing exit <br />and egress patterns. When a visitor enters and <br />exits the district for the first time, the sign system should <br />reinforce a stable, safe, and welcoming environment. <br />( The sign and wayfinding system consists of over 32 <br />unique signtypes from area identification to <br />directional maps, and finally, standard regulatory <br />i signage. The sign design compliments the area <br />history as reflected in surrounding bridge design <br />and the street landscape. <br />10 ]" ° -3 :BIAS• Iy Se 6, 7 4A Bt._ ems, gar 81.6 �• 10, ...11 12-1 13p <br />® s <br />If R7 <br />, <br />© 1. <br />l � � 13.1 v 3311 L�vmd SRatl <br />.. ��Y .' atamauu ss36a <br />J <br />_ I, ,� <br />Ae ilk <br />14. <br />c _ _ _ ARa;.«s eo.a aww <br />.� - _ ...
