Receive the report.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The cost estimate to complete the fabrication and installation of the signs is $109,000.

DESCRIPTION:
The Wayfinding Sign Project came about based on more recent public feedback
regarding City parks. It became evident that there was a need to provide wayfinding
signs to improve the user experience at Dublin’s community parks. The proposed signs
at Heritage Park and Museums, Fallon Sports Park and Emerald Glen Park, will orient
pedestrians and vehicles to the features found at each park.
As part of the process, the City Council approved the sign designs on April 4, 2017 and
Staff is currently working with the design team from Bess Design to complete the plans
and specifications to solicit bids. It is anticipated that the project will be complete by
winter 2018. Staff will provide a short slide presentation of the sign designs at the
Parks and Community Services Commission meeting.

As part of the design process, Staff, along with Gates and Associates Landscape
Architectural firm held the first of two public participatory workshops in advance of the
Parks and Community Services Commission meeting tonight at 6:30 pm in the Civic
Center Lobby. During the workshop, the community was given an opportunity to review,
discuss and propose changes to the three conceptual designs prepared by Gates and
Associates.
At tonight's meeting, representatives from Gates and Associates, along with Staff, will
present the three design alternatives for the park site. The presentation will summarize
the input received from the earlier workshop and seek direction from the Parks and
Community Services Commission on a preferred park layout, theme and recreational
elements. That direction will guide the development of a preferred conceptual design.
In conjunction with the Commission, a second public meeting will be held on September
17, 2018. The purpose of the meeting will be to present and receive input on the
preferred conceptual design. The goal of the second meeting will be to reach
consensus on the park design and provide a recommendation for City Council action.
