The Guidance Pathways wayfinding system establishes uniform, seamless streetscape information routes within a geographic perimeter and involves different streetscape components which all, interrelate to one another. A Guidance Pathways system creates a user-friendly information route clearly identifiable by the homogenous design of a family of signs used for all types of applications on the streetscape. While not all communities have the same physical layout, in Guidance Pathways a "multi-ring" approach towards the travelers' view of the city is used. The outer ring, or gateway access, provides initial introduction and general directions to specific designated areas within the geographic perimeter. Signing can also be used at this point to orient the driver or pedestrian as to "community resources." The.next inward ring provides more definitive directional and informational signage,plus parking information to specific areas within the geographic perimeter. The inner ring provides specific destination and parking information. This transition process creates the"seamless and transparent information route"from the entranceway of the geographic perimeter to the final destination. Route Transition Rings Family of Signs City Limit 1 Rural/Suburban Border r Suburban/Urban Border > ` Ffti�6Sr — —— V�2J� Urban/Downtown Border Ear Parking/Pedestrian *, Wayfinding Guidance Pathways Concept The concept behind the Guidance Pathways program is to introduce the sign system on the streetscape correctly, the first time! It involves practical, logical and deductive reasoning. The finished system is easy to read, understand and follow, is cost effectiveness and durable. Additionally, designs are compatible with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices regulations and existing or proposed new streetscape components. Our program provides a comprehensive signing solution that delivers a turn-key signing system... a system that reflects the "character and identity" of the community, establishes continuity of information, promotes the area, and improves the overall aesthetic look of the streetscape. Design/Build Approach Guidance Pathway Systems encourages design/build as a beneficial approach. towards project management because design/build: Encourages co-production allowing the client to use its resources to keep costs down, provides for continuity throughout the project, limits the contacts and improves the communication for the project, clearly identifies the responsible party for the project, helps.expedite. completion of the project and is very cost effective. Sign System Site Planning and Design A Guidance Pathways program involves designing information for.the trovelways within a geographic perimeter of the city's streetscape grid. It includes the following: city limit, gateway access, information, orientation and destination routing, destination locators, route selection, parking access and exit information. All of this information, when linked provides for an intuitive and seamless information routing throughout the geographic area. Sign Education Introduction seminars and continuing meetings are provided to review the basics of sign design,form and function along with site plan analysis and continuing updates on the status of the program. Site Plan Perimeter Determination/Sign Routing Because most sign programs are implemented over a period of years,the general perimeter of the system with specific site plan areas where phases of the complete system will work independently must be determined. This will have an effect on the selection of desirable routes of circulation, identified as those which will provide the most efficient and safest means of direction to a destination. Site Map Survey An evaluation is made to plan signage in the selected "phased"geographic areas. This involves incorporating near term economic and development plans. All final information is provided in a GIS map overlay format. Data Gathering/Inventory In order to substantiate the site map survey,all gathered information and hard data for on-street sign location/inventory is reviewed and verified. Determination of information and Identification Aids During the analysis of proper Guidance Pathways routing,consideration is given to"other forms"of streetscape communication, provided on the streetscape. These include community and event signs,kiosks, map units and especially pedestrian wayfinding. Sign Program Scale and Design/Family of Signs Sign locations, angles of orientation, height above ground site lines, and consistent position for each level of the sign hierarchy are critica I'd isplay factors. Signs are designed to fit into the hierarchy and collect information at selected entry_ points,and then distribute information to a wide area of destination. Pedestrian and Vehicular information are two separate but interrelated wayfinding systems. The pedestrian system generally begins where the vehicular system ends, especially at parking locations. Installation/Permitting A careful evaluation of DOT requirements and the streetscape infrastructure will provide the most beneficial and economical components for sign permitting and installation. Sign System Maintenance Components for the sign system are selected because of their durability on the streetscape. The warranty is not only that of our firm, but also of those manufacturers whose materials we use to create the finished product. Budget Analysis and Approval A step-by-step involvement through the system design and cost process provides a no suprises" budget presentation. a� Wx Vgg Propnefary Confidential Information Guidance Pathway Systems, Inc. c s 4 Corporate Office 4)Q-11111 All written material and 34-40 Front Street, ; drawings are to be used for presentation Building 6L,2nd Floor } tz purposes only and PO Box 51086 may not be used for any other Indian Orchard,MA 01151 z s 3r reason without written permission Phone: (413)543-4757 Fax:(413)543-4776 of GPS, Inc.

CREST THEATRE 3 i92&GYMRASIUM4 °� "� Guidance Pathways The Guidance Group created the Guidance Pathway and Streetscape Information Program that provides a comprehensive solution for information requirements affecting both driver and pedestrian. The program addresses Image and Brand Identity, Structure and Sign Design requirements, and Site Planning, which provides the continuity of information flow on the Streetscape. It also incorporates adherence to the MUTCD, State and Local requirements. Guidance Group Objectives and Service Approach Our objective is to provide the client with"what they want"correctly,the first time! We have developed innovative concepts and approaches to master-planning, and community wayfinding projects including our "FastTrac" Process. We apply our experience and expertise along with practical and logical reasoning... and the finished product is durable, visually appealing; and easy to understand. Our process is one of Co-Production. This allows the community to keep costs down by utilizing their resources to help in the concept, design, and ultimate installation of the sign system on the streetscape. We evaluate the information stream necessary for the driver to successfully navigate the roadways. We design a complete and homogenous "Family of Signs" based on structure and messages to be used now and in the future of the sign system. We plan the location, orientation, and installation of signs; reinforcing their inter-relationship with pedestrian components such as maps and kiosks and other reference points to facilitate simple and clearly understood routing to and through areas and to final destinations. Design/Build Projects While we work with clients in many ways, Guidance Pathway Systems encourages design/build as a beneficial approach towards project management because design/build: encourages co-production allowing the client to also use its resources to keep costs down, provides for continuity throughout the project, clearly identifies the responsible party for the project, helps expedite completion of the project; and is very cost effective. In our experience, there have been substantial savings on the soft costs of projects and there are additional savings in the manufacture, delivery and installation areas as margins are taken from a sole contractor and not boosted up as the project changes hands from.designer to manufacturer to installer. Also there is a substantial savings in the overall cycle time of the project. . '/) 49 i@ Image and Identity Platform Communities are made up of their environment, and many elements compose that environment: natural, cultural, built, financial and human elements. These elements send messeges about the community in an often unbridled manner, resulting in negative messages that should be positive,or a jumble of conflicting messages that should be harmonized. The community can strive to discover,develop and promote a single positive""Brand." This singular Brand Image can position how the community wants to be percieved; especially by prospective residents and visitors.
