I especially <br />appreciate your ability to work with our <br />stakeholder group, providing them with clear, <br />concise information and effective graphics <br />that allowed them to make well-informed <br />decisions. <br />I look forward to working with Beckwith <br />Consulting Group on similar projects." <br />Anne Tonella-Howe PE, Assistant City Engineer <br />City of Mercer Island Public Works <br />9611 SE 36th Street, Mercer Island, WA 98040 <br />206.27s.78r3 <br />anne. tonella-howe@mercergov.org <br />Kelso Wavfindins Master Plan <br />"The cities of Longview and Kelso, <br />Washington jointly engaged Beckwith <br />Consulting to develop a wayfinding signage <br />master plan that included an integrated <br />signage design consistent between both <br />communities. The joint planning effort saved <br />both community's time and money and <br />contributed greatly to the success of Kelso's <br />program. Kelso capitalized on Beckwith's <br />design effort by incorporating signage design <br />into its new logo, thus precluding the need <br />and expense of a separate branding initiative. <br />Beckwith's consultants provided hands-on <br />customer care and were very responsive to <br />the details of individual design and <br />preparation of procurement <br />specifications. Questions were quickly <br />answered, and their deliverables helped the <br />City obtain the grant funding necessary to <br />implement the entire project." <br />Stephen Taylor ICMA-CM,cCity of Kelso <br />PO Box 819, Kelso, WA 98626 <br />14 <br />Our references <br />360-423 -137 1, stavlor@kelso.sov <br />Oak Harbor Downtown/Waterfront <br />Redevelopment Program <br />"Based on my experience with Tom and his <br />consulting group, their talents can be applied <br />to a wide variety of planning and community <br />development situations. Developing exciting <br />urban design solutions to practical problems <br />in the built environmen! implementing broad <br />vision through specific, targeted projects; and <br />utilizing processes that involve and value <br />stakeholders are just three examples of how <br />their skills may assist you.
