EN HILLS <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: July 16, 2012 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers <br /> Patrick Klaers, City Administrator <br /> FROM: Michelle Olson, Parks and Recreation Manager <br /> SUBJECT: Trail Signage <br /> Background <br /> At the February joint PTRC/City Council meeting, the Council gave preliminary approval for the <br /> Parks Trails and Recreation Committee (PTRC) to move further into design on trail signage. <br /> Staff met with Carol Kriegler from Vacker Inc. to discuss the trail signage design. Vacker Inc. <br /> designed and installed all of our park name signs. Staff laid out the PTRC's recommendation on <br /> signage and the proposed $3,000 budget for this project. After meeting with Ms. Kriegler, she <br /> recommended three options for trail signage. Staff presented these three options to the PTRC at <br /> their May 15, 2012 meeting and the PTRC made a motion to recommend option 2 of the <br /> proposed trail signage, the 20 suggested trail locations and cedar posts installed with concrete. <br /> The motion carried unanimously. The City Council reviewed the three trail sign designs at their <br /> May 29, 2012 meeting and agreed with the PTRC's choice for option 2. This sign is a 16" x <br /> 18" x 0.75" Bi-Color HDPE backer panel with a 0.125"polymetal panel. The sign would have <br /> a Tuff Cover protective overlaminate. <br /> The Council made a motion to contract with Vacker Inc. for the production of trail signage <br /> panels in the amount of$2,885.63 and authorize an additional $500 expenditure for City staff to <br /> purchase posts and concrete. The motion carried 5-0. The City Council asked staff to bring the <br /> mapping portion of the project back to a work session for review. Since that time, City staff has <br /> been working with Vacker, Inc. on the mapping elements. Below are the mapping elements <br /> recommended by the PTRC for Council review: <br /> 1. 20 locations as indicated on the attached map (Attachment A) <br /> 2. No mileage will be included. A scale will be included on the bottom of the map. <br /> 3. No proposed trails will be included, only existing trails. <br /> 4. 3 or 4 zoomed in sections of the map with a"you are here" arrow for each sign. <br /> 5. Each map would have a small box on the bottom of the map showing where the trail <br /> user is in relation to the entire City trail system. This would not be a very detailed <br /> map. <br /> 07162012 Trail signage design.doc <br />
