This will be a significant improvement upon the current dated signage that you see scattered haphazardly throughout the area now.<br /><br />The signage also seems to blend design concepts from other streetscaping elements seen throughout the City (primarily Downtown). The consortium describes the project as, <span style="font-style: italic;">"an implementation of a bold and unified Uptown wayfinding and streetscape design for pedestrians and motorists."</span> They go on to say that this includes the development of a, <span style="font-style: italic;">"comprehensive, user-friendly Uptown map to locate key Uptown businesses, neighborhoods and institutions."</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span>Hopefully this signage will be customizable and/or complimentary to signage that will need to be developed, for the <a href="http://www.cincystreetcar.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cincinnati Streetcar</span></a>, when it comes to the Uptown area in the near future. I love wayfinding systems, but the last thing we need is redundant systems cluttering the sidewalks.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e33/UncleRando/Misc/UptownSignageSystem.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 447px; height: 225px;" src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e33/UncleRando/Misc/UptownSignageSystem.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>UncleRandohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14272257274373604807noreply@blogger.com
