INFORMATION: Axia Consulting will be presenting to the Board the final design concept that has been developed during the public outreach portion of the wayfinding design process. After initial input from advisory boards and key stakeholders, the consultant developed three design concepts for the community to consider. The three concepts were presented to all advisory boards, the business community, and public information sessions were held to collect feedback. The concepts remained on display in Town Hall during the summer for public comment including during The 203 public outreach process. The attached design concept is a based on feedback from the community (attachment 1).
Some of the next steps after approval of the design concept will be final refinements of the design including field mock-ups to test legibility of the signs; confirm sign locations; generate construction documents, NCDOT approvals and finalize easements; create production ready art files, develop an RPF for bidding and review proposals.
