Project Description: Please describe the project in detail. Indicate the major work to be completed, any milestones that need to be overcome in order for the project to move forward, and include a comparison of existing and proposed conditions. In June of 2016 the City of Ellensburg and Kittitas County Chamber of Commerce Tourism Division began developing a Wayfinding Master Plan for the City of Ellensburg, which was completed in February 2017. The wayfinding master plan is the pathway in which the city intends to provide signage for taurism and residents. The key objectives of the way finding project is to provide route guidance along key corridors, create a visually-unified sign age system, generote signage templates for key community attractions, curate the visitor experience within Ellensburg and generate local awareness and pride of amenities and assets. The Wayfinding Master Plan for the City of Ellensburg includes 32 Vehicular Directional signs, five Gateways signs, four Pedestrian Map signs, four Parking Directional signs, and four Pedestrian Directional signs. The current grant funding request is for the 32 Vehicular Directional signs called for in the Wayfinding Master Plan. The City of Ellensburg has already added a few way finding signs mostly found just outside or within the downtown core. The proposed project which adds 32 Vehicular Directional signs would boost the total amount and bring attention to the downtown core of our wonderful city. 2.

The project enhances and elevates the opportunity for tourism by drowing attention to the many historic and new attractions and activities within the City of Ellensburg. The look and feel of the signs and posts adds an inviting touch as people travel throughout the city. Beeause of the many positive aspects of the Vehicular Directional signs the Wayfinding Master Plan supports all 12 goals of the Kittitas County Tourism Infrastructure Plan. The Wayfinding Master Plan supports the goals of the KC Tourism Infrastructure Plan. In a similar way, the Vehicular Directional signs will foster tourism by providing a weleaming and informative atmosphere as visitors navigate within the city to enjoy Ellensburg's many amenities. Attractive and inviting Vehicle Direction guide signs throughout the City will create a positive experience for tourists that will increase the chances of a return visit or referral. Ellensburg tourism will benefit from returning tourists and positive referrals, increasing economic activity due to a larger volume of customers visiting the many local businesses. 3.

Implementation .................................................................................................................................. ~ ................................................. 37 3 Ellensburg, Washington Wayfinding Master Plan 1. introduction Purpose In June of 20 16, the City of Ellensburg and Kittitas County Chamber of Commerce Tourism Division contracted with Amett Muldrow & Associates develop a wayfinding master plan for the City of Ellensburg, Washington. Overall project goals include the following: • to promote major community destinations; • to cultivate the City of Ellensburg as a visitor destination and generate overnight stays; o to enhance tourism and quality oflife; and • to develop an attractive, consistent signage to set Ellensburg apart from competing communities. 4 Ellensburg, Washington Wayfinding Master Plan 2. Pre liminary Ana lysis Stakeholder Input Arnett Muldrow & Associates (the "Consultants") met with the wayfinding project steering committee to kick off the planning process in late summer of2{)16. During the steering committee meeting, the Consultants recorded responses to discussion questions posed by the Consultants. Participants were asked a series of questions surrounding two themes: one, wayfinding needs, issues, and opportunities; and two, project goals and objectives. In general. key themes identified by stakeholders included: • Provide route guidance along key corridors; • Create a visually-unified signage system; • Generate signage templates for key community attractions; Curate the visitor experience within Ellensburg; • And generate local awareness and pride of amenities and assets. 5 Ellensburg, Washington Wayfinding Master Plan ~dicy and Management A key project goal is the establishment of wayfinding policy and management programs that will ensure the sustainability of the wayfinding plan and provide a roadmap for physical maintenance and system expansion over time. Wayfinding Policy A useful wayfinding policy will address two key issues: • The inclusion and exclusion of potential destinations into the wayfinding system; and • An assessment of the relative significance of qualifying destinations. Types of Qualifying Destinations To be considered for inclusion into the community wayfmding system for Ellensburg, a destination or attraction must clearly conform to one of the following categories: o Architectural & Historical: Historic Sites, Historic Districts o Commercial: Permanent Farmers Markets, Shopping Districts, Industrial Parks o Cultural & Institutional: Arenas, Colleges and Universities, Convention Centers, Courthouses, Government Buildings, Health Care Centers, Libraries, Museums, Schools, Theaters • Recreational: Boating Access, Campgrounds, Golf Courses, Hiking/Biking Trails and Routes, Equestrian Facilities, National/State/Regional Parks/Forests, Parks and Recreational Facilities, Sports Facilities • Transportation: Airports, Historic Routes, Parking Resources, and Transit Centers • Visitor Services: Hospitals, Visitor Information Centers If a destination or attraction fails to conform to one of the above categories, it should be excluded for consideration as a qualifying destination. 6 Ellensburg, Washington Wayfinding Master Plan Scoring Criteria for Qualifying Destinations If an attraction or destination conforms to one of the qualifying categories for destinations, it will be considered for inclusion into the Ellensburg wayfinding system. A qualifying attraction or destination shall then be rated according to a scoring matrix based on the below criteria. The attraction or destination under consideration shall register a minimum score of nine (9) to be included in the wayfinding system. Size of Attraction: Score based on number of full-time employees 10 or fewer 11-49 50 or more 2 3 Access to Attraction: Score based on ease of access via roads and entrances Unmarked and unpaved/no entrance Entrance poorly marked and/or unpaved entrance/access Clearly marked entrance with paved entrance/access o 1 2 Parking Resources: Score based on number of parking spaces or nearby on-street parking No on-site or nearby on-street parking Nearby on-street parking only Dedicated parking lot with 10 or fewer spaces o 1 2 Dedicated parking lot with 11 or more spaces 3 Seasonality: Score based on annual availability or access to destination on an annual basis 6 months or less 6-9 months 9-12 months 2 3 Hours of Operation: Score based on weekly availability or access 0-20 hours/week 20-40 hours/week 40 or more hours/week 1 2 3 Significance of Attraction: score based on local, regional, or national importance Local significance Regional significance National significance 1 2 3 7 Ei ien s burg, Washington Wayfinding Master Pian Sys t e m iVi a n ageme nt The day-to-day and long-term management of a wayfinding system will require a commitment from the City of Ellensburg's elected leadership as well as leaders from various city departments. These stakeholders will work together to manage the physical and administrative elements of the wayfinding program. Oav-to-Day System Management The City of Ellensburg should assign a department to manage the wayfmding system. This department would be responsible for scheduled system maintenance, including cleaning and repair to minor damage of system components. This department would also review the system status, address maintenance or repair issues, and discuss and recommend (if needed) action to alter, modify, or expand the existing system. Future design services can be managed by the department or through an as-needed services contract with a qualified firm. Long-Term System Management The City of Ellensburg will be required to manage, and allocate additional funds to, an ongoing wayfinding management program. Between ten and fifteen percent ofthe funding for project implementation should be earmarked for long-term system repair, replacement, and expansion. The City of Ellensburg may be required, on occasion, to contribute additional funds to ensure the system is adequately maintained. 8 Ellensburg, Washington Wayfinding Master Plan System Infrastructure The process used to determine the routes to Ellensburg destinations consisted of identifying three types of roads: Major Routes, Circulator Routes, and Destination Routes. Major Routes Major routes are the roads that bring most of the traffic into Ellensburg. Based on an analysis of daily traffic counts (AADT = Annual Average Daily Traffic) for all highways with an Interstate, US, or W NSH designation, most visitor trips should be routed from exits 109 and 106 along Interstate 90 leading to Canyon Road/South Main Street from the south and West University Way from the West. Therefore, all ofthese roads are designated in the wayfinding plan as ¥ajor Routes. ~_._ ~. ,.,{,:,' 4 eI ~ -, '". . ~ I:j a: .... \ f \. ~ .' -~ . " " • 4~ '.-... ~ , -~ . !13 ;, " .' f :; , .

Circulator Routes also provide access from Major Routes to Destination Routes, the roads that lead to individual destinations. Circulator Routes are characterized by high traffic volumes in urban areas and by being the principal access ways in rural areas. In Ellensburg. Circulator Routes include East University WaylEast Vantage Highway, Dolarway RoadlRailroad Avenue, East Mountainview AvenuelKittitas Highway, Um.ptanum Road, Chestn~t Street, '!'hird Ay~~ue, and Fifth Aven~e.

C. r::! ." 10 Ellensburg, Washington Wayfinding Master Plan Destination Routes Destination Routes connect destinations to the connective grid of Major and Circulator Routes. In many cases, access to a destination is directly from a Major Route or Circulator Route and needs no further connecting . For other destinatiollS. one or more directional trailblazer will be required along a Destination Route to direct traffic to a point where either an on-premise sign confIrms arrival at the destination or the destination is otherwise self-evident. System Destinations The Consultants with the project steering committee to edit, refIne, and fInalize the destinations to be included in the wayfInding system. These destinations are divided into two categories based on their overall signifIcance as a visitor destination, with Tier One being the most signifIcant and Tier Two the least significant to the wayfInding system. Tier One Destinations Tier One destinations are qualifying destinations that meet all requirements of scoring criteria for eligible destinations or attractions and should be included in motorist directional signage. Tier One destinations will require directional trailblazer signage from Primary, Circulator, and Destination Routes to direct visitors to the destination. Destination CWU Downtown City Hall County Courthouse Figure I: Tier One Destinations Tier 1 1 1 1 11 Ellensburg, Washington Wayfinding Master Plan T i e r Two Destinations Tier Two destinations are qualifying destinations that meet all requirements of scoring criteria for eligible destinations or attractions and should be included in motorist directional signage. Tier Two destinations will require a directional trailblazer when a tum is necessary and may be included in a directional trailblazer when a directional trailblazer is required because of a Tier One destination.

System . eSlgn Design Elements The Consultants worked with the wayfinding project steering committee to edit, refine, and fmalize artwork for the wayfindi'og system. Important considerations included the. following designeiements. Many Cifthe design elements are drawn from the recomnlended brand id,entity for Ellensburg, which has been embraced by the City ofEUensburg. Fonts The wayfinding system for EUensburg features three approved font, which are described and illustrated below. The first approved font is Highway Gothic, which shouJd be utilized for vehicular signage, which is intended for viewing by people in motorized vehicles along public roadways. The cap height for sign copy must be six. inches for signs, in speed zones thirty mil.es-per- hour and above. The cap height must be four inches for speed zones les~ than thirty miles-per-hour. ABCDEF 'GHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXY abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy Figure 4: Highway Gothic 13 Ellensburg, Washington Wayfinding Master Plan The second approved font is Helvetica Neue, which should be utilized for pedestrian signage. This typeface is intended for viewing by people on foot or non-motorized vehicLes outside the public right-of-way , so the cap height is not subject to MUTeD regulations and can vary based on use. Helvetica Neue should also be utilized fOl" destination markers , whioh are on-site signs that identify specific destinations included in the wayfinding system. ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz Figure 5: Helvetica Neue Color Palette The approved color palette for Ellensburg draws directly from the existing brand palette for the City of Ellensburg. It is important to note that sbades of red, orange, and yellow may not be used as sign baokgrounds, as these colors may resemble reguJatory signage and may confuse and endanger motorists. Figure 6: Color Palette 14 Ellensburg, Washington Wayfinding Master Plan Icons Two icons are approved for usage in the Ellensburg wayfinding system. 'fhese are as follows: • The commonly-acknowledged information icon "i" should be used in conjunction with a Visitor Information Center. • The parking icon "P" should be used to indicate directional parking signage.1t may appear in conjunction with the word "Parking" or simply on its own. Figure 7; System Icons 15 Ellensburg, Washington Wayfinding Master Plan Arrows It is recommended that Type D arrows, shown below, should be used in all motorist-oriented signage in the Ellensburg wayfmding system. For pedestrian-oriented trailblazers, an alternate set of arrows, also shown below, should be utilized. VehlCt.da! DlreOI()llai AI ro~JS Pede::otllan DlfeC'tl OndJ .i\riO'N~ Figure 8: Vehicular and Pedestrian DirectionaiArrow5 Materials Poie-Mounred Signage o Sign panels should feature custom, digitally-printed layouts with 3M UV -cured inks over 3M Engineer Grade Reflective Sheeting. This should be overlaid with 3M ElectroCut Film. Panels should be O.125-gauge aluminum. o Breakaway posts and decorative post features should be constructed of MUTCD-specified, WSDOT -approved powder-coated metal. Signs installed in pedestrian areas should also include a decorative slip jacket at the base of the post. • Signs on existing light standards may be used with WSDOT approval. o All installed signs should meet federal and state requirements for minimum height and breakaway features.

Implem e ntation Ideally, the signs in the program would be implemented in one budget cycle. However, many communities opt to phase in signs over time. In the case of Ellensburg, the following phasing approacb should be used if needed: • Priority One: Vehicular trailblazing system. If phasing needs to be broken down further, Ellensburg should concentrate on one corridor at a time with Trailblazing signs. • Priority Two: Gateways which can be implemented in phases. • Priority Three: Pedestrian Oriented Signs which can be implemented as downtown continues to expand.
