[00:00:01]
THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR[Wayfinding Master Plan Open House Event on July 15, 2021]
JOINING US THIS EVENING.WE KNOW YOU COULD BE DOING OTHER THINGS.
SO WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE WITH US.
I QUICKLY WANTED TO INTRODUCE THE PROJECT TEAM.
I'M A TRAFFIC ENGINEER WITH THE CITY AND I AM THE PROJECT MANAGER FOR THIS WAYFINDING PROJECT.
HE IS THE OVERALL PROJECT MANAGER ON THE CONSULTING SIDE.
HE IS THE LEAD TRAFFIC ENGINEER.
WE HAVE MAURA SHE'S WITH CORBIN DESIGN.
SHE'S THE PM ON CORBYN SIDE AND THE SIGN ARCHITECT.
HE IS WITH CORBIN DESIGN ALSO, AND HE'S OUR LEAD DESIGNER.
SO BEFORE I HAND IT OFF AND TALK ABOUT ALL THE DETAILS, THE BUTTER CONCEPTS, I DID WANT TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE PROJECT BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND ACCOMPLISHES ACCOMPLISHMENTS WE'VE WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO SO FAR.
UM, SO THIS PROJECT IS A YEAR LONG, UM, PROJECT THAT WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH.
UM, WE KICKED IT OFF IN FEBRUARY AND WE ARE ON TRACK TO FINISH BY FEBRUARY OF NEXT YEAR.
SO 2022, WE DID CONDUCT A SURVEY AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PROJECT THAT WE PUSHED OUT THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
UM, AND ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WAS ABLE TO HELP US WITH THIS DESIGN PROCESS THAT ASKED KEY WORDS THAT DESCRIBE THE CHARACTER OF THE CITY.
UH, SOME OF THOSE WORDS THAT YOU SEE VISUALLY ON THESE CONCEPTS, WE'RE ABOUT TO SHARE, UM, INCLUDE HISTORIC NATURE, DOWNTOWN CHARMING, UNIQUE ALONGSIDE WITH THAT.
THE TEAM OVERALL HAS VISITED KEY DESTINATIONS AND WE'VE MET WITH VARIOUS STAKEHOLDERS THROUGHOUT THE CITY TO GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF OUR MAIN VISITOR DESTINATIONS.
UM, WE HAVE DEVELOPED AN INTERIM PARKINSON PLAN THAT WILL HELP ROUTE, UH, DOWNTOWN VISITORS TO THE CHESTNUT GARAGE.
UM, WE DID ORDER THE SIGNS TODAY, TODAY, SO THEY WILL BE INSTALLED TOWARDS THE END OF AUGUST AND WE HAVE BEGUN AND WILL CONTINUE TO REVIEW WAYFINDING DESTINATIONS.
UM, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SIGN TECHNOLOGY, MONUMENT LOCATIONS, RENAMING THE DOWNTOWN PARKING LOTS.
SO THEY MAKE SENSE WITH HER SYSTEM AND DISTRICTS.
UM, HOWEVER, THE MOST EXCITING PART ABOUT THIS WHOLE PROCESS AND IN THE PAST MONTHS, HANDS DOWN HAS BEEN WORKING WITH JEFF AND HIS TEAM TO DEVELOP THE TWO SIGN DESIGN CONCEPTS.
UM, SO WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO HAND IT OFF TO JEFF.
AND, UM, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MYSELF, I WILL BE AROUND AFTER PRESENTATION.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US AGAIN.
I SEE SOME FAMILIAR FACES HERE FROM THE LAST TIME WE MET AND TODAY WE'RE PAM SAID WE'RE REALLY LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO ASSEMBLE THIS AMAZING TEAM AND BRING TOGETHER SOME DESIGN CONCEPTS FOR THE WAYFINDING SYSTEM.
UH, WANT TO JUST SET THE TABLE TODAY BEFORE WE JUMP INTO ACTUALLY SHOWING WHAT WE'VE DEVELOPED HERE TO, UM, EXPLAIN THAT THESE ARE CONCEPTUAL DESIGNS STILL AT THIS PHASE, MEANING THAT WE CAN CHANGE ANYTHING.
THEY'RE GOING TO LOOK LIKE FULLY DEVELOPED SIGNS AND SIGN TYPES AND SIGN ELEMENTS.
EVERYTHING'S ADJUSTABLE AND CHANGEABLE.
AT THIS POINT, WE'RE SHOWING YOU THIS SORT OF PRE-VETTED DESIGNS TO GET TO A POINT SO WE CAN SEE REALISTIC INTERPRETATIONS OF WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN HERE, BUT THERE STILL NEEDS TO BE QUITE A BIT OF WORK IN ORDER TO MAKE THESE PRACTICAL, FINISHED THEM AND THEN GET THEM IN THE ENVIRONMENT, WHICH IS WHY WE WANT TO HOLD ANY OF THE OTHER PROGRAMS UP.
BECAUSE WE KNOW THIS PROCESS TAKES A LITTLE BIT LONGER.
YOUR INPUT IS SUPER, SUPER VALUABLE AT THIS POINT, BECAUSE WE'VE MET WITH AN INTERNAL CITY TEAM THIS MORNING TO REVIEW THESE CONCEPTS AND THEY'RE GOING TO PROVIDE THEIR DIRECTION AND THEIR VOTES, BUT YOU ALL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE EXACTLY THE SAME COMMENTS AND VOTING WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AFTER THIS PRESENTATION IS THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE A, UM, A LINK.
WE HAVE A QR CODE, THAT'LL LINK YOU TO A SURVEY WHERE YOU CAN ACTUALLY PROVIDE YOUR SELECTION FOR THE CONCEPT.
UM, SOME SUB SELECTIONS OF A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT ELEMENTS HERE.
SO WE CAN ACTUALLY GET YOUR INPUT.
WE'RE GOING TO USE THAT DATA FROM THAT SURVEY.
AS WE PRESENT TO THE CITY COUNCIL IN AUGUST TO SAY, PEOPLE LIKED THIS CONCEPT, HERE'S THE PERCENTAGE OF IT.
PEOPLE LIKE THESE SUB VERSIONS OF IT.
AND HERE'S THE PERCENTAGE OF THAT.
SO THAT WHEN WE GO TO CITY COUNCIL, WE CAN SAY, WE'VE GOT COMMUNITY INPUT.
WE'VE GOT CONSENSUS WITHIN ORGANIZATION THAT THIS IS THE DIRECTION WE SHOULD GO IN.
SO YOU'RE IMPORTANT PART OF THIS PROCESS.
I'M GOING TO JUMP RIGHT INTO THIS.
I WILL RUN THROUGH THE PRESENTATION HERE.
FEEL FREE TO INTERRUPT, ASK QUESTIONS, I'LL PAUSE AT CERTAIN POINTS AND THROW IT BACK TO YOU.
IF NOT AT THE END, WE'RE CERTAINLY GOING TO BE HERE WHEN THIS
[00:05:01]
FORMAL PRESENTATION IS DONE.SO WE CAN HAVE A COUPLE OF BOARDS UP HERE SO WE CAN STAND IN FRONT OF THOSE AND HAVE KIND OF INFORMAL DISCUSSIONS TO WE SO WE CAN TAKE YOUR COMMENTS THAT WAY.
SO STEP NUMBER ONE, WHEN IT TOWARDS THE COMPUTER, NOPE, THERE SHOULD WORK.
IT WORKS AFTERNOON AT WORK JUST FIVE MINUTES AGO.
SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THAT DIFFICULT.
SO TABLE FOUR, THE DESIGNS AND THE ELEMENTS THAT ARE WITHIN GOT TO COVER THIS REALLY SUPER BORING STUFF.
FIRST, THIS REALLY IS TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THAT THE SIGNS ARE DESIGNED TO MEET A CERTAIN STANDARD FOR TRAFFIC LEGIBILITY.
THAT IS MUT SEEDY MANUAL FOR UNIFORM TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES AND TXDOT TO MAKE SURE THE SIGNS ARE CONSISTENT WITH SIGNS THAT ARE GOING TO SEE OUTSIDE OF THE CITY.
SO YOUR OF STANDARD DLT SIGNS, UM, TO, TO MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENS.
WE WANT TO TALK, MAKE SURE THAT THE SIGNED FONT, THE CAT PIF, THE SIZE AND CLEARANCE, ALL OF THAT MEETS SAFETY REQUIREMENTS.
AND THEN OUR COLORS SIGN FACE COLORS, MEET A CONTRAST STANDARD.
UM, AND THEN THERE'S ALSO AN ALLOWANCE FOR A BREAKAWAY BASE.
IN CASE THE SIGNS ARE STRUCK, THEY'RE SAFE.
WE BUILD THESE INTO OUR SYSTEMS. ALL THE DESIGNS ARE GOING TO REFLECT THIS ALREADY IN THE DESIGN, SOMETHING YOU ALL DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT.
WE JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THE HOMEWORK'S BEEN DONE TO INCORPORATE THESE ELEMENTS INTO THE SYSTEM BEFORE ALL OF OUR CONCEPTS, WE JUMPED THE DESIGNS.
WE WANT TO TALK AND SHOW YOU OUR INSPIRATION.
SO AS WE LOOK AT DIFFERENT DESIGN ELEMENTS, WE WANT YOU TO SEE WHERE THAT SPECIFIC INSPIRATION CAME FROM.
WE WENT THROUGH A REALLY EARLY PRELIMINARY DESIGN PROCESS IN WHICH WE DID A NUMBER OF SKETCHES.
SO IN THIS CASE, YOU'LL SEE THAT THIS CONCEPT HERE IS THE, UM, UH, WAS ONE WHERE THAT FIRST BATCH OF CONCEPTS THAT WE SELECTED AND WAS KIND OF PRESELECTED TO MOVE FORWARD.
IT'S JUST A CONCEPT AT THIS POINT.
AND YOU'LL SEE HOW WE'VE KIND OF TAKEN THAT IDEA AND UTILIZED IT IN A SORT OF SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT WAY.
THIS IS ANOTHER VERSION OF AN EARLIER SKETCH THAT WE'VE TAKEN OUT FURTHER AND I'LL SHOW YOU THOSE.
UM, AND THEN KEEP IN MIND THIS SORT OF TRELLIS OR PORTAL ENTRY, BECAUSE WE'LL, I'LL SHOW YOU HOW WE WERE INSPIRED BY THAT AS WELL AS WE MOVE FORWARD AS PART OF THE DESIGN THERE'S GOING TO BE, AND WE'VE INCORPORATED INTO BOTH CONCEPTS, THE GENERAL, UM, DESIGN INSPIRATION OF A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT THINGS.
ONE IS NATURE NATURE IN NATURAL ELEMENTS, NATURAL FEATURES, NATURE THROUGH GRAPHICS.
SO WE'RE TOUCHING, WE TRY TO TOUCH ON A NUMBER OF THOSE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS TO REFLECT NATURE.
AND I'LL SHOW YOU EACH ONE OF THOSE PIECES AS WE MOVE FORWARD.
BUT JUST IN GENERAL, THAT'S ONE THING.
THE OTHER THING THAT WE WANTED TO PLAY WITH IS SHADOWING LIGHT.
I GOT A LOT OF SUN, YOU GET A LOT OF SHADOW.
HOW CAN WE UTILIZE THAT OR TAKE THAT AND CREATE A DESIGN ELEMENT FROM THERE.
AND HOW DO WE MERGE THOSE TWO PIECES TOGETHER? WE ALSO WANTED TO KEEP THE SIGNS LIGHT, NOT IMPOSING AND FIT INTO THE ENVIRONMENT.
KEEPING IN MIND, THEY'RE GOING TO WORK BOTH IN A DOWNTOWN ENVIRONMENT AND THEN ALSO THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.
JUST TO CLARIFY THIS, THIS IS A CITY-WIDE WAYFINDING PROGRAM, SO, UH, WE'LL TALK ABOUT WHAT THE DIFFERENCES COULD BE BETWEEN MAYBE DOWNTOWN AND SOME OF THEIR OTHER AREAS, BUT WE DO NEED TO HAVE A CONSISTENT LOOK FOR THE PROGRAM.
THAT'S ONE OF OUR KEY GOALS HERE IS TO CREATE, UM, A BRANDED SIGN SYSTEM.
AND WHEN I SAY BRANDED, IT'S A COUPLE OF THINGS, BRANDING IN THAT IT'S EASY TO BRAND SOMETHING.
BUT IN THIS CASE, WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS CREATE A BRANDING THROUGH THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE.
I MEAN THAT WHEN YOU SEE THAT SIGN OR THAT ELEMENT FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE, YOU UNDERSTAND IT'S PART OF A BROADER WAYFINDING SYSTEM.
AND WE'RE ALSO INCORPORATING ELEMENTS THAT COULD BE UTILIZED OUTSIDE OF THE WAYFINDING.
IN THIS CASE, WE'RE SHOWING THESE AS GUIDE SIGNS, BUT THE DESIGN ELEMENTS, THE BRANDED ELEMENTS COULD BE USED LIKE THIS INTERNAL DESIGN PIECE COULD BE USED IN GATEWAY ELEMENTS TOO.
SO IT CARRIES THAT THEME ALL THE WAY THAT THREAD ALL THE WAY THROUGH OUR SYSTEMS. WE WILL, I'LL SHOW YOU A NUMBER OF SIGN TYPES TODAY, THREE TOTAL.
UM, THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE THAN THAT IN THE SYSTEM, BUT WE PICK THOSE THE THREE THAT TODAY, AND I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU BECAUSE OF THE MOST COMMON COMMONLY SEEN SIGNS AND THEY REPRESENT SORT OF THE DESIGN STANDARD, HOW WE CARRY ACROSS THAT DESIGN THROUGH THE VARIOUS VARIATIONS OF THE SITE.
THIS IS PROBABLY THE ONE THAT'S GOING TO BE MOST RELEVANT TO YOU RIGHT NOW.
THIS IS A FOUR INCH VEHICULAR GUIDE SIGN.
THAT JUST MEANS THAT IT'S FOR ROAD SPEEDS, 30 MILES PER HOUR UNDER.
THIS WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD FIT INTO THERE.
WE WANTED TO CREATE SOMETHING THAT, UH, WAS NOT IMPOSING,
[00:10:01]
THAT DIDN'T HAVE A STRONG, UH, YOU KNOW, STANDARD, GIANT, RECTANGULAR SHAPE OF A SIGN THAT WE'RE NORMALLY SEEING FOR DUT DUT.WE WANT THE LEGIBILITY TO WORK LIKE DOD, BUT WE DON'T WANT TO BE MISTAKEN FOR DOD.
SO IN THIS CASE, WHAT WE'VE DONE HERE IS TAKEN THE UTILITY ASPECT, WHICH IS THE MESSAGE SIGN FACE.
UM, CAN WE CONTRAST THE REFLECTIVITY, ALL THOSE CORE ELEMENTS.
WHAT WE'VE DONE HERE IS WE'VE DONE, DONE INDEPENDENT PANELS.
SO THESE ARE INDEPENDENTLY CHANGEABLE.
SO THE CITY CAN, AS THINGS, UPDATE, CHANGE PANELS CAN BE CHANGED INDEPENDENTLY FROM ONE ANOTHER.
IF THERE'S DAMAGE TO SOMETHING, OR IF THE SUN FADES, IT'S A SIGN A CERTAIN WAY, THESE CANDLES PANELS CAN BE UPDATED INDEPENDENTLY.
THAT'S PART OF THE MODULARITY THAT WE BUILD INTO THE SYSTEMS AS WELL.
UM, YEAH, THOSE ARE ORANGE COPY HEIGHTS.
THAT'S PROBABLY ABOUT A FOUR FOOT WIDE PANEL, 24 INCHES TALL.
UH, SO, AND THEN TO SUPPORT THAT, GENERALLY THERE'S A POST AND PANEL SCIENCE SYSTEM.
WE DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE A SIGN ON A STOCK.
WE WANTED SOMETHING THAT WAS MORE UNIQUE.
SO WE'VE CREATED THIS STRUCTURE THAT SUPPORTS THE SIDE PANELS AND ESSENTIALLY, YEAH, ESSENTIALLY WHAT THAT IS, IS A, UM, A FRAME STRUCTURE.
SO THIS CREATES IS A BOX FRAME.
UH, THIS MIDDLE ONE IS THE BACK.
AND THEN OFF TO THE FAR RIGHT HAND SIDE IS THE SIDE ELEVATION.
JUST SHOW YOU WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
THE, THE, UM, STRUCTURED THEN IS THAT BOX FRAME AND INSIGHT INSET IN THERE IS THAT CUT OUT PANEL.
SO I WANT TO JUST PREFERENCE THIS REALLY QUICK AND I'LL TOUCH ON THIS LATER ON, BUT THAT PANEL NOW WHAT WE'RE SHOWING THERE IN TERMS OF THAT GRAPHICS IS KIND OF A PLACEHOLDER FOR US.
SO WE'RE GOING TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE INSPIRATION OF WHAT THAT COULD BE.
OUR INITIAL THOUGHT WAS IN ORDER TO REPRESENT NATURE AND NATURAL ELEMENTS, IT COULD BE A PATTERN SHAPE MURAL.
IN THIS CASE, THIS IS KIND OF A MURAL THAT ILLUSTRATES KIND OF THE WATER UNDERNEATH THAT THE GROUND PERCOLATING THROUGH THE SOIL, TURNING INTO GRASS AND PLANTS, AND THEN CULMINATING WITH FLOWERS AT THE TOP TO KIND OF SHOW GROWTH AND, YOU KNOW, AND HIGHLIGHT WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT THIS REGION IN TERMS OF THE GREENWAYS AND THE REASON THAT THESE PLACES ARE DISPLACED EXISTS.
SO THE IDEA WAS THAT, HOW DO WE REFLECT THAT THROUGH SOME OF THESE DESIGNS? CERTAINLY THIS WILL GO THROUGH SOME ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF REVISIONS AND KEEP THIS IN MIND AS WE'RE SELECTING OR LOOKING AT THE TWO DIFFERENT CONCEPTS.
AS WE REFINE A CONCEPT, A MATTER WHICH ONE IS SELECTED.
THIS'LL BE ONE OF THE ELEMENTS THAT WE MAY COME BACK AND SAY, WE'VE GOT SOME OTHER IDEAS AND CONCEPTS AND MURALS WE'RE EVEN DISCUSSING THE IDEA OF, IS IT ONE DESIGN FOR ALL OF THE COMMUNITY? IS IT ONE DESIGN FOR EACH AREA? IS IT A NUMBER OF DESIGNS, THREE TO SIX DESIGNS THAT ARE KIND OF RANDOMLY PUT? SO THAT'S KIND OF A SCULPTURAL ELEMENT THAT EACH ONE MAYBE TELLS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT STORY OR TOUCHES ON A LITTLE DIFFERENT ASPECT OF HISTORY AND CULTURE.
SO A LOT OF WAYS TO CUSTOMIZE THIS, OUR GOAL HERE WAS TO CREATE SOMETHING UNIQUE, UNIQUE BY NATURE, NATURE, BEING THE NATURAL ELEMENTS, BUT ALSO UNIQUE IN THE CONSTRUCTION AND THE COMMUNICATION AND THE, JUST THE UNIQUE USE OF A SIGN.
WE MENTIONED THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE EARLY ON AS BEING A UTILITY.
IT IS THIS MESSAGE PART IS UTILITY.
IT GIVES DIRECTIONS FUNCTIONS LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO, WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO WITH THESE STRUCTURES? UM, YOU CAN SEE THAT IT'S ALSO A LOT OF OPEN SPACE ON IT.
SO YOU SEE THROUGH THE IDEA OF BEING THAT WE DIDN'T WANT, WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO SEE THROUGH AND SEE THE SKY, SEE THE TREES, SEE THE BUSINESSES THROUGH THE SIGN STRUCTURE ITSELF WHILE ALSO KEEPING IT SIMPLE, INEXPENSIVE, LOW MAINTENANCE, ALL OF THOSE COMPONENTS ADDED TO IT.
SO, AS I MENTIONED, THE TOP PART HAS A BRANDING ELEMENT AT THE TOP.
CURRENTLY WE ARE GETTING AN EARLY STAGES OF DISCUSSING THIS RIGHT NOW, WE'RE USING THIS AS SORT OF A GENERIC KIND OF FILLER.
IT'S NICE AND SIMPLE, MEANING THAT IF THE CITY DECIDES TO DO ANY OTHER MARKETING AND BRANDING LOGOS COLORS, IT WOULD COORDINATE WITH THIS SYSTEM.
I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT OUR SYSTEMS, THE WAY WE DESIGNED AND HAVE THEM BUILT IS THAT THEY ARE THERE.
THE FINISHES HAVE A 10 YEAR WARRANTY.
THAT'S JUST THE PAINT, DESTRUCTORS THEM STRUCTURES THEMSELVES CAN ALMOST LAST INDEFINITELY.
THE ALUMINUM STRUCTURES, THE PANELS THEMSELVES, AS LONG AS UPDATED AND MAINTAINED CAN LAST A REALLY LONG TIME.
SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S, THIS IS GROUNDED IN THINGS THAT AREN'T GOING TO CHANGE LIKE FADS AND KIND OF BRANDING EXERCISES THAT HAVE A LIFE SPAN OF A COUPLE OF YEARS.
AND THEN YOU CHANGE THEM AGAIN.
THE IDEA IS THIS WOULD COORDINATE WITH THOSE.
I KNOW THAT THE SCIENCE HAS BEEN KENIA.
IS THERE A WAY TO ALSO ADD AN ADDITIONAL PLACE OVER THAT DESIGNATES WHAT AREA OF PATINA YOU'RE IN, WHETHER IT'S THE EAST SIDE OR STONE RETRAIN CULTURAL DISTRICT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT? GLAD YOU ASKED THAT AS PART OF OUR ANALYSIS, WE'RE LOOKING AT CENTERS OF ACTIVITY ALSO REFERRED TO AS DISTRICTS.
SO CURRENTLY WE HAVE A DISTRICT PLAN AND WE'RE STILL ANALYZING THAT, IDENTIFY WHAT THOSE DISTRICTS COULD BE.
AND YES, THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE THAT.
IN FACT, WE HAD A CONVERSATION TODAY, UM, WHICH I'LL COULD, I COULD'VE SHOWN YOU, BUT I DON'T HAVE, I'M GOING TO EXPLAIN TO YOU WHAT THE IDEA WOULD BE IS THAT THIS ELEMENT HERE POTENTIALLY IN ORDER TO TIE CLOSER IN WITH THE DOWNTOWN IS MAYBE IT TAKES THAT DESIGN THAT SIGNED FRAME WITH
[00:15:01]
THE NEON SIGN, TURNS THAT INTO A FLAT PANEL AND ACTUALLY REPLACES THAT MCKINNEY WHEN YOU'RE IN DOWNTOWN SO THAT WE CAN TIE INTO THE EXISTING DOWNTOWN BRANDING AND MARKETING ELEMENTS.YOU SEE THE MCKINNEY SIGNS AND WHEN YOU GET DOWNTOWN, IT SWITCHES OVER TO THOSE HISTORIC DOWNTOWN PLAQUES, EASY ENOUGH THING TO DO.
AND CERTAINLY IF I'LL SHOW YOU BOTH CONCEPTS, WE CAN TALK ABOUT HOW THAT COULD BE REFLECTED IN BOTH OF THOSE.
AND IN THE NEXT ITERATION, WE'LL BE SURE TO SHOW THAT AS AN OPTION TO KIND OF LET YOU KNOW, UH, THIS IS IT RIGHT NOW.
WE DON'T HAVE SOME SIGNAGE THAT DESIGNATES ALL THE EAST SIDE LITTLE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT HISTORICALLY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THERE.
PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE.
I KNOW BETH BAILEY AND I TALKED ABOUT THAT AND IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE WELL IDENTIFY SPECIFIC PARTS OF TOWN FOR HISTORICAL REASONS.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE SOME OF THE HISTORY OF CERTAIN PARTS OF THE TOWN AND WITHOUT A PLACEHOLDER ON THERE, YOU WOULDN'T KNOW THAT YOU WERE IN AN AREA THAT THAT'S YOUR STORY.
UH, WE IN FACT HAD SOME INTERNAL DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THAT.
IT PRESENTS A COUPLE OF CHALLENGES FOR US, GIVEN THE SPACING, A NUMBER OF THESE SIGNS WHERE THEY'RE LOCATED.
IT MAY NOT GIVE YOU THAT CONSISTENCY, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S A, IF IT'S AN AREA THAT DOESN'T SPAN A WIDE AREA, MAYBE YOU SEE ONE SIGN SCENE OUT OF CONTEXT.
YOU'RE REALLY NOT GETTING THAT SENSE FOR THAT OR IDENTIFYING THE MARKER.
BUT IN NEIGHBORHOODS SPECIFICALLY, AND WE TALKED, I THINK OUR IDEA OR THOUGHTS WERE DOWNTOWN HERE REALLY AS AN EXAMPLE, WHICH IS THAT HOW WE, HOW DO WE RECOGNIZE THOSE AND IDENTIFY THOSE COMMUNITIES? THIS WAYFINDING SYSTEM WILL NOT NECESSARILY DIRECT TO THOSE THAT'S, UH, WE'RE DIRECTING TO PRIMARY DESTINATIONS FOCUSED ON MAIN VISITOR ATTRACTIONS.
SO UNLESS THAT SPECIFIC NEIGHBORHOOD HAS AN ATTRACTION THAT WE'RE SENDING VISITORS TO, WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE IDENTIFYING IT.
IT'S JUST, IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL FOR US TO TRY TO IDENTIFY ALL THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS, UM, THROUGH A SYSTEM LIKE THIS, BUT WHAT WE COULD DO AND WHAT WE SAID, WHICH IS KIND OF FEELS A LITTLE MORE MEANINGFUL.
IS IT KIND OF A THREE-FOLD ATTACK AT THAT ONE IS THAT, DOES THAT WE COULD DESIGN A SIGN THAT LOOKS AND FEELS OR COORDINATES WITH THIS SIGN THAT IDENTIFIES THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
MAYBE YOU PUT IT AT SOME OF THE ENTRY POINTS TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT SAYS, THIS IS THE SO-AND-SO NEIGHBORHOOD.
MAYBE YOU'RE SAYING IT HAS A TAGLINE, OR WHEN, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THERE'S A DATE THAT'S SIGNIFICANT TO THAT LOCATION.
AND THAT COULD BE THE MARKER FOR PEOPLE COMING INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO UNDERSTAND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF IT AS A SECOND PART TO THAT SORT OF AN EASIER, IT'D BE LOWER HANGING FRUIT IS THAT THERE'S A STREET SIGN TOPPERS.
SO ON TOP OF YOUR STREET SIGNS, YOU CAN PUT ANOTHER BLADE THAT IDENTIFIES THAT NEIGHBORHOOD AND THAT'S THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO AS YOU'RE DRIVING AROUND, THAT'S NICE FOR IDENTIFYING THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND I THINK THE THIRD THING, UM, WHICH IS THE ONE THAT WE'RE KIND OF EXCITED ABOUT IS THE ABILITY ON THE DOWNTOWN KIOSKS, OR I'M GONNA SAY DOWNTOWN, I'M GOING TO SAY PEDESTRIAN KIOSKS, AND I'LL SHOW YOU THOSE.
IN FACT, I CAN MOVE RIGHT AHEAD.
UM, SO ANYWAY, THIS IS THE DIRECTIONAL, A DIMENSIONAL VERSION OF IT TO SHOW YOU THAT THE DEPTH AND THE THICKNESS AND THE IDEA OF THE DIMENSIONALITY IN THAT SIDE, BUT IN THE, IN THIS PEDESTRIAN RATE, IN THIS ARRAY, THIS IS A PEDESTRIAN KIOSK.
SO THIS CAN BE UTILIZED IN ANY HIGH TRAFFIC, PEDESTRIAN, TRAFFIC DENSITY AREA TO COMMUNICATE A LOT OF INFORMATION WE'RE THINKING SPECIFICALLY, AND WE'VE ALREADY PLOTTED SOME DESTINATIONS DOWNTOWN, OUR PLAN.
AND OUR RECOMMENDATION IS TO REPLACE THE EXISTING, UM, BUILDING DIRECTORIES AND MAPS THAT ARE WRAPPED ON THE EXISTING POSTS WITH THIS MULTIFUNCTION UNIT STANDALONE UNIT.
AND THE REASON WE RECOMMEND THAT IS BECAUSE IT DOES OFFER A LOT MORE FLEXIBILITY IN TERMS OF THE GRAPHICS, UPDATING MAINTENANCE, THE REPLACEMENT, THE CONTENT ITSELF.
AND SO FOR US, THE, ONE OF THE OTHER KEY BENEFITS OF THIS, WELL, LET ME JUST REALLY QUICKLY, I'M GONNA, I'LL JUMP TO THAT IN A SECOND.
THE SIGN ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE HERE, THIS ONE HERE, AS I SAID, THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE IS FOR ROAD SPEEDS BELOW 30 MILES PER HOUR.
WE KNOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF ROADS OUTSIDE OF THAT HIGHER SPEED ROADS.
THIS IS A SIX INCH VERSION FOR ROAD SPEEDS ABOVE 35 MILES PER HOUR.
SO AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE HOW THE SCIENCE WOULD COORDINATE WITH EACH OTHER, BUT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FUNCTION DIFFERENTLY IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE WE MAINTAIN THAT LEGIBILITY FOR FOLKS.
UM, SO IF I GO TO THE QUESTION, YES, SIR.
NOTICE IT WITH YOUR HIGHER SPEED.
ONE OF MY CONCERN WOULD BE TO HAVE MORE TOWARDS FUNCTIONALITY, NOT SO MUCH, BUT A SIMPLER DESIGN, SO THAT IT'S EASY TO SEE AT A HIGHER SPEED.
SO MAYBE NOT HAVING AS ALL THE POWDER IN.
SO I JUST HAVING A SOLID, UM, OR, UM, AND ALSO, UM, THERE THERE'S TWO THINGS.
ONE IS THE, THIS IS, THIS IS GREAT.
THAT'S ONE THING I'VE SAID LIKE, WHY IS IT THEIR WAY FINDING THIS NEEDS TO BE GREAT.
IT'D BE NICE TO EXPAND TO THE BIKE ED SYSTEM AND HAVE A TRAIL SYSTEM SO THAT IT ALL BE LINKED.
IF YOU'RE ON THE STREETS, TAKE YOU TO CRAIG RANCH OR DOWNTOWN AND HAVE SOME SORT OF RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE MANY OF THE TRAILS WITHIN MCKINNEY, LES, YOU'RE VERY, VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE SYSTEM.
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET ON A MAJOR.
UM, AND I KNOW THERE'S STILL SOME CONNECTIVITY ISSUES IN THE CITY, SO IT'D BE NICE TO HAVE THINK ALSO IS
[00:20:01]
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO MEASURE PERFORMANCE ONCE IT'S INSTALLED AND HOW ARE YOU GOING TO ON A PAGE EVALUATION MATRIX OR YOU USE TO FIGURE OUT, OKAY, THREE QUESTIONS, LET'S START WITH THE FIRST ONE.SO THE UTILITY ASPECT, WE'RE SHOWING THIS AS A DESIGN OPTION TO MATCH THIS FAMILY.
AS I SAID, THERE MAY BE ADDITIONAL SIGN TYPES BEYOND THIS SCOPE.
SOME OF THOSE WILL INCLUDE A SIMPLIFIED VERSION OF THIS.
SOME OF THAT IS TO DRIVE THE COST DOWN ON SOME OF THOSE ROADS THAT DON'T REALLY REQUIRE THIS LEVEL OF DESIGN.
MAYBE IT HAS THE SAME PANELS AND THE HEADER, AND IT HAS MORE SIMPLE DLT STYLE CONSTRUCTION POSTS.
AND MAYBE THERE'S A TRANSITION, AS YOU SAID, A HYBRID, THAT'S MORE SIMPLIFIED VERSION OF THIS ONE AS WELL.
I TOTALLY AGREE, BECAUSE I THINK AS WE LOOK AT PLOTTING THESE LOCATIONS AND LOOKING AT THE QUANTITIES AND NUMBERS, WE'LL WANT TO BALANCE THAT AGAINST SOME COSTS, HOW EFFECTIVE IS THAT SIGN IN TERMS HOW MUCH TRAFFIC IS ACTUALLY SEEING IT, HOW MUCH FIRST TIME VISITOR TRAFFIC IS SEEING IT VERSUS, YOU KNOW, A COMMUTER TRAFFIC, MAYBE THAT BALANCES OUT A LITTLE BIT.
UM, SO A COORDINATING SYSTEM AND VERSIONS OF THIS SIGN, ABSOLUTELY, UH, TRAIL SYSTEM.
UH, CURRENTLY WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS AS A PEDESTRIAN AND VEHICULAR SYSTEM, BUT THAT PEDESTRIAN SYSTEM COULD EXTEND INTO THE TRAILS AND AS WELL AS THE PARKS, AS PART OF OUR TESTS AS WELL, WE'LL BE CREATING A COORDINATING PARKS AND RECS TRAIL SIGN PARKS AND RECS SIGN TYPE, WHICH WE'LL COORDINATE WITH THIS SYSTEM TOO.
SO FOR OUR, OUR GOAL FOR THE VISITOR IS THIS KIND OF OVERARCHING UMBRELLA OF SIGN TYPES THAT WILL LOOK SIMILAR AND BE PART OF A FAMILY SO THAT WHEN THEY COME IN AT FALL, SEE THE GATEWAYS, WELCOME TO MCKINNEY, FOLLOW THESE SIGNS TO PRIMARY DESTINATIONS, WHICH WILL INCLUDE MAJOR PARKS AND RECREATION AREAS.
AND AS THEY GET THERE AND TRANSITION TO A PEDESTRIAN, MAYBE THIS PASTORING KIOSK IS A MAP OF THAT TRAIL SYSTEM AND WHERE IT GOES AND ALL THE DESTINATIONS ACCESSIBLE FROM IT.
AND THEN ALONG WITH THAT, MAYBE THERE'S PARK IDENTIFICATION AND EVEN SOME TRAIL GUIDE SIGNS AS WELL.
AND THEN THE THIRD ONE IS YOUR RETURN ON INVESTMENT.
SO YES, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF WAYS TO TRACK AND IDENTIFY THE SUCCESS OF A PROJECT.
UM, ONE IS THROUGH A VISITOR SURVEYS, BOTH PRIOR PRE AND POST WAYFINDING SYSTEM WE HAVE, AND WE CAN PROVIDE OUR STATISTICS FROM COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE DONE THAT BEFORE THAT HAVE A DEMONSTRATED AND GIVEN PERCENTAGES OF INCREASE IN A COUPLE OF KEY AREAS.
AND THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US BECAUSE THIS REALLY SPEAKS TO WHY ARE WE DOING A WAYFINDING SYSTEM? I CAN TELL YOU WHY OTHER COMMUNITIES HAVE DONE THAT.
AND IT COMES DOWN A LOT OF CASES TO DOLLARS AND CENTS.
UM, SO WHAT WE WANT TO DO WITH OUR WAYFINDING SYSTEM IS EXTEND THE HOSPITALITY OF A COMMUNITY AND CREATE AWARENESS AND PROMOTE AWARENESS OF ACTIVITIES AND DESTINATIONS TO VISITORS.
WHY DO WE WANT TO DO THAT? WE WANT THEM TO STAY LONGER WHILE THEY'RE HERE.
WE WANT THEM TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY DON'T RUN OUT OF THINGS TO DO.
WE WANT THEM TO HAVE A VERY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE, FINDING THINGS AND HAVING A GOOD TIME IN HERE.
WE WANT THEM TO KNOW WHEN THEY'RE HAVING THAT GOOD TIME.
IT'S HERE IN MCKINNEY AND NOT MISTAKING IT FOR BEING IN STONEBRIDGE AND NOT THINKING WELL, IT'S STONEBRIDGE, NOT IN MCKINNEY.
LIKE WE WANT THEM TO UNDERSTAND THOSE BOUNDARIES.
WE WANT THEM TO TELL THEIR PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN COME BACK AND DO THE SAME THING AND STAY LONGER.
WE WANT TO HAVE REPEAT BUSINESSES.
SO ALL OF THOSE THINGS, WELL, WHAT COMMUNITIES HAVE DONE IS LOOKED AT THEIR HOTEL TAX OR THEIR HOTEL REVENUE.
AND I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND AND INTERVIEW AND CREATE STATISTICS FROM INTERCEPTS WITH THOSE FOLKS.
WHY'D YOU COME HERE? HOW EASY WAS IT TO FIND YOUR WAY AROUND? DID YOU USE THE WAYFINDING SYSTEM? WHAT ELSE DID YOU DISCOVER WHILE USING THE WAYFINDING SYSTEM? DID YOU STAY LONGER BECAUSE OF A DESTINATION YOU FOUND VIA THE WAYFINDING SYSTEM? DID YOU EXTEND YOUR TRIP BECAUSE OF A DESTINATION YOU FOUND VIA THE WAYFINDING SYSTEM? SO AS WE ROLL THIS OUT, WE, YOU KNOW, WE DO HAVE, AND WE CAN'T PROVIDE THOSE RETURN ON INVESTMENT STATISTICS SPECIFICALLY HERE, WE WOULD NEED TO TALK ABOUT SETTING UP SOME SORT OF STRUCTURE IN ORDER TO TRACK THAT AND GET SOME STATISTICS FROM HERE REALLY DEPENDS ON SETTING UP THE PRE VISIT SO WE CAN COMPARE IT AGAINST THE POST SIGNED SYSTEM AND COMPARE THEM RIGHT NOW.
THE ONLY SURVEY THAT WE DID WAS REALLY TO RESIDENTS, BUSINESS OWNERS, LOCAL REPRESENTATIVES, TO GIVE THEIR FEEDBACK ON THE CURRENT WAYFINDING, WHETHER IT BE THE SIGNAGE OR HOW THEY'RE GETTING AROUND TOWN AND THAT'S OUR BASELINE, BUT WE COULD, WE HAVEN'T DISCUSSED THAT, BUT THERE'S, THERE'S TIME HERE TO WORK WITH, VISIT MCKINNEY, TO MAYBE GET A SURVEY OUT TO SOME, UH, VISITORS THIS SUMMER TO GET A BASELINE FOR NOW WITHOUT THE NEW SIGNAGE AND THEN TRACK.
AND AGAIN, IN A YEAR WHEN THE SIGNS ARE INSTALLED, UM, YOU MIGHT PASS BY WANT TO USE A SOCIAL INPUT OR METRO BUS, BECAUSE YOU MIGHT GET A HIGH RESPONSE RATE IF YOU RUN IT.
UM, DID I ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS? OKAY.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I COVERED IT.
THE, SO IN THE SIGN TYPE OF RAYMOND TO GO TO THIS PEDESTRIAN CASE, CAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO SHOW HOW WE'VE TAKEN THE SORT OF VERTICAL DESIGN ELEMENT.
AND THEN AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, THAT SORT OF GARDEN TRELLIS, HOW WE TRANSLATED THE KIOSK.
SO YOU'RE STILL GOING TO HAVE DESIGN ELEMENT, BUT NOW YOU'RE JUST GETTING IT ON THAT SIDE FRAME.
THE STRUCTURE THAT ITSELF HAS A COUPLE OF, THEN THE UTILITY ASPECT OF THAT IS IT DIRECTS
[00:25:01]
TO PEDESTRIAN DESTINATIONS OVER THE VISITORS HAD SO THAT IF SOMEONE'S STANDING IN FRONT OF THE MAP, WE'RE STILL DIRECTING TO KEY DESTINATIONS.THOSE DESTINATIONS WOULD ALSO INCLUDE A WALKING DISTANCE IN MINUTES SO THAT WE TAKE DIRECTLY FROM GOOGLE'S ALGORITHM FOR WALKING DISTANCE.
SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO PULL OUT YOUR PHONE AND SAY, HOW FAR IS IT TO THE PARKING GARAGE? IT'S FIVE MINUTES.
OUR SIGN WILL STILL TELL YOU THE EXACT SAME PIECE OF INFORMATION WITH THE GOAL OF PEOPLE NOT HAVING THEIR HEAD IN THE PHONE, HAVING UP IN THE ENVIRONMENT, ENGAGED IN THE DESTINATIONS AND FINDING THEIR WAY SO THAT THEY'RE ENGAGED IN BOTH THE COMMUNITY AND ALSO BUSINESSES AND SHOPS.
AND THEY'RE NOT SOLELY FOCUSED ON THOSE PHONES.
THE, THIS SIGN STRUCTURE ALLOWS FOR DOUBLE-SIDED PANELS.
SO SEEING THE SIDE ELEVATION HERE, UNDERSTAND THAT SOMEONE ELSE CAN BE STANDING ON THIS SIDE AND SEEING COMPLETE SET OF INFORMATION ON THE OTHER SIDE, THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR US BECAUSE IT GIVES US A FLEXIBILITY TO DO A COUPLE THINGS.
THIS FRONT SIDE, THINK OF THIS AS THE SORT OF CORE WAYFINDING ELEMENT IT CONTAINS.
UM, AND THIS IS FOR PLACEMENT ONLY.
SO DON'T THINK OF THIS AS FINAL ALBUM ARTWORK, NOT AT ALL.
IT'S JUST PROOF OF CONCEPT FOR THE MAP.
IT WOULD HAVE A DOWNTOWN VERSION WITH WALKING DISTANCES, PRIMARY DESTINATIONS, ALL THE PARKING LOTS IDENTIFIED, WHICH THE NEW PARKING PLANNING, COUPS PARKING NAMES NOW.
SO NOW I DON'T HAVE TO SAY W ONE YOU'LL ACTUALLY HAVE THE PARKING STREET NAME WILL BE THE PARKING STREET, LOT ACCESSED OFF OF THAT.
SO HOPEFULLY HELP PEOPLE FIND THEIR LOTS EASIER WHEN THEY COME IN AND THEN AS THEY'RE PEDESTRIANS, HAVING EASIER TO FIND IT WHEN THEY WALK BACK TO IT.
AND THEN THERE'LL BE, OBVIOUSLY THERE'LL BE A, A LEGEND IN HERE WE COULD.
AND WE TALKED ABOUT THIS INTERNALLY.
WE COULDN'T FOLD THAT MERCHANT DIRECTORY DIRECTLY INTO THIS MAP GRAPHIC TOO.
WE WOULD SIMPLY DO THAT BY PUTTING AN ALPHA NUMERIC MATRIX LETTERS OR CROSS NUMBERS ACROSS THE MERCHANT DIRECTOR SAYS,
WE COULD EVEN MAKE THE MERCHANT DIRECTORY, A CHANGEABLE PANEL THAT'S MORE EASILY UPDATED.
CAN YOU GET SOME MORE CODE? ABSOLUTELY.
YOU'RE JUMPING AHEAD OF MY PRESENTATION, SIR, AS PART OF THAT, WE ALSO WOULD WANT TO ADVERTISE AND PROMOTE THE REST OF MCKINNEY.
SO THIS LITTLE INSET DOWN HERE WOULD BE A INSTEAD OF MCKINNEY SHOWING WHERE DOWNTOWN IS THAT AND OTHER KEY DESTINATIONS, BIG ONES, INCLUDING CRAIG RANCH, SOME OF THE PARKS, AGAIN, CREATING AWARENESS FOR FOLKS TO SAY, OH, WE WERE DOWNTOWN.
LET'S GO OUT AND GO TO TOWN LAKE CENTER.
WE'RE GOING TO BE OUTSIDE FOR A LITTLE BIT.
THE OTHER PIECE IS THAT CONNECTIVITY WE'RE IN DISCUSSION AND WE'RE HAVING SOME, I THINK, FAIRLY GOOD DISCUSSIONS ABOUT HOW TO INTEGRATE TECHNOLOGY.
ONE OF THOSE PIECES OF TECHNOLOGY IS SORT OF THE EASIEST ONE FOR RIGHT NOW IS QR CODES WHERE WE OBSERVE THAT THE CITY'S ALREADY USING THOSE IN A NUMBER OF LOCATIONS.
EVEN THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS A SIGN OUT THERE SAYS, WE'RE PLANNING ON DOING SOMETHING HERE.
IF YOU WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT IT, YOU KNOW, JUMP ON THIS QR CODE.
EVEN THE, UM, SETTLERS PARK HAS A QR CODE FOR THEIR EVENT CALENDAR, I BELIEVE OVER THERE TOO.
SO AN EASY STEP FOR THE BOTTOM HERE AS THIS PANEL COULD BE A QR CODE THAT LINKS ONE TO THE MERCHANT, A MERCHANT DIRECTORY THAT'S UPDATED TO THE MINUTE, WHICH WOULD BE GREAT.
CAUSE THAT WAY, IF MERCHANTS AND THINGS CHANGE, WE WON'T HAVE TO UPDATE THE SIGN.
MAYBE THAT EVEN GIVES THEM LINKS TO THE BUSINESSES SO THEY CAN JUMP IN CHECK MENUS AND SALES AND HOURS OF OPERATION, RIGHT FROM THEIR PHONE TO, UH, I MEAN, TO ME, QR CODE TELLS YOU WHERE YOU ARE, BUT IF YOU HAVE A SCIENTIST THAT YOU GOT TO GO THIS DIRECTION TO GET TO THE GARAGE, YOU MIGHT WAIT ON, YOU COULD WALK PAST THE GARAGE AND NOT EVEN REALIZE IT'S THERE.
IT GOES TO A MAPPING SYSTEM THAT SAYS, OKAY, I'M LOOKING AT MY PHONE.
YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHERE I'VE HAD TO GO.
I KNOW HOW MANY MINUTES IT IS.
CAUSE IT TELLS ME AND THAT, YOU KNOW, NOT THAT THAT'S A CRITICAL THING FOR A LOT OF FOLKS THAT ARE DIRECTIONALLY CHALLENGED BY MYSELF, JUST TO BE ABLE TO KNOW WHERE YOU'RE AT AND WHERE YOU NEED TO GO AND THEN TECHNOLOGY WHEN IT COMES TO THAT.
SO AS, UH, AS WE TALK ABOUT THE LEVELS OF TECHNOLOGY, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO TALK ABOUT THE COST OF THAT TECHNOLOGY.
AND THEN HOW DO WE FUTURE PROOF THE SIGNS OF HOW DO WE TRANSITION THROUGH DIFFERENT LEVELS OF LEVELS OF TECHNOLOGY SO THAT YOU CAN FIND THE LEVEL THAT YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH QR CODES IS THE EASY ONE.
THE NEXT ONE WE TALKED ABOUT THIS MORNING IS CALLED NEAR-FIELD COMMUNICATION.
AND THAT MEANS THAT THERE'S A, UM, A DEVICE ON THIS KIOSK HERE THAT CAN PUSH INFORMATION TO YOUR PHONE.
UM, WHETHER IT PROMPTS YOU TO SAY, WOULD YOU LIKE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS LOCATION? YOU SAY, YES, IT COULD GIVE YOU A WAY OF FINDING INFORMATION.
IT COULD GIVE YOU A DISCOUNT, GIVE YOU A CODE.
IT COULD GIVE YOU COUPONS, UM, BECAUSE IT KNOWS WHERE YOU'RE STANDING.
IT WOULD BE RELEVANT TO WHERE YOU'RE AT.
DID YOU KNOW FROM THIS LOCATION, WE'RE GIVING YOU THREE COUPONS TO BUSINESSES THAT YOU LITERALLY CAN SEE FROM WHERE YOU'RE STANDING IN THE SIGNS GOING TO BE ABLE TO ADAPTABLE, TO MAYBE EMERGENT TECHNOLOGY WHERE WE CAN PUT WIFI ON THEM BECAUSE I KNOW THE STATE JUST PASSED A LAW SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR THE OTHER DAY, ESTABLISHING A BOND OFFICE OFFICES, CITIES, AND COUNTY GOVERNMENTS ARE NOT GOING TO BE PUSHING FORWARD, DEVELOPING WAYFINDING SYSTEMS TIED TO THE INTERNET.
[00:30:01]
WE HAVE CYBER USES CAPABLE OF ADAPTING, THE MARCH OF TECHNOLOGY WI-FI BECAUSE I DON'T WORRY.SO A COUPLE OF OTHER OPTIONS THAT WE HAD DISCUSSED, WHICH IS, I GUESS, STILL IN DISCUSSION PHASES RIGHT NOW IS THE INCORPORATION OF, I THINK, I DON'T KNOW IF EVERYONE'S SEEN THE MONITOR OVER AT THE OLD SETTLERS PARK, THERE'S A SCREEN THERE THAT DISPLAYS INFORMATION.
IT COULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THAT WHERE THE MAP IS A DIGITAL MAP SO THEY CAN CHANGE.
AND THEN IN CASE OF EMERGENCY OR SOMETHING ELSE, INFORMATION COULD BE UPDATED INSTANTANEOUSLY.
THE NEXT LEVEL, BEYOND THAT, IT'S A TOUCH SCREEN.
ONE THAT'S TOTALLY SEARCHABLE THAT WOULD GIVE YOU DIRECTIONS AND SHOW YOU, YOU KNOW, LET YOU SEARCH BY TYPE IN RESTAURANTS AND FIND EVERYTHING THAT'S RELEVANT OR BUSINESSES.
THAT WOULD BE A NEXT LEVEL OF INTEGRATION.
I THINK FOR US IN ORDER TO FUTURE-PROOF THIS, AND THIS IS WHAT SOME OTHER COMMUNITIES HAVE DONE AS WELL IS THE FIRST STEP IS TO UNDERSTAND THE FEASIBILITY OF PULLING POWER TO THESE LOCATIONS, MAKING SURE THAT'S NOT A COST HURDLE.
IF YOU COULD PULL POWER TO THIS UNIT, WE CAN PUT LIGHTING IN IT.
SO EVEN IF WE DON'T DO TECHNOLOGY RIGHT AWAY, THESE THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT LIGHTING AND YOU'RE PAYING TO PULL POWER AND THE UNIT AND SECURITY.
AND IN THIS CASE, IT'S KIND OF NICE BECAUSE WE CAN INCORPORATE LIGHTING ELEMENTS IN THE TOP THAT ACTUALLY WOULD LIGHT THESE SURFACES HERE AND THEN ACTUALLY CREATE A LITTLE NICE LIGHTING HERE AT THE BOTTOM TOO.
SO THAT WOULD BE A NICE, A NICE STEP.
SO YEAH, AND THEN THERE'S, THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER PIECES OF TECHNOLOGY THAT CAN BE INCORPORATED IN THIS AS WELL.
UM, THERE'S CAMERA UNITS THAT CAN BE PUT UP HERE THAT TRACK PEOPLE'S MOVEMENTS.
UM, THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS TOO.
SO I THINK ALL OF THAT'S IN DISCUSSION, NONE OF THAT'S BEEN DETERMINED YET AS WE MOVE FORWARD, THIS IS THE LET'S THINK OF THIS AS THE BASE MODEL WITH THOSE BEING OPTIONS THAT WE COULD PURCHASE.
MAYBE IT'S NOT ALL OF THEM, MAYBE IT'S LOCATION SPECIFIC GETS KIND OF SOME GET UPGRADED.
SOME DON'T SOME DEPENDING ON THE DENSITY OF PEOPLE AROUND THERE AND GET JUST THIS UNIT HERE, THIS STANDALONE UNIT HERE, WHICH WE LOVE ABOUT IT, DOESN'T BREAK SCREEN, DOESN'T LOSE POWER.
YOU KNOW, IT JUST FUNCTIONS ALL THE TIME, THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE.
SO WE WANT TO START WITH THAT AS OUR BASELINE.
AND MAYBE FOR FEEDING, THEY ARE, I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT THAT UP.
ONE MORE POINT BEFORE I MOVE ON IS THAT THIS BOTTOM PORTION HERE YOU CAN SEE IS A, ESSENTIALLY A CABINET.
SO THIS WHOLE TOP PART IS A STRUCTURE.
THERE'S NOT A LOT OF MASS TO IT, BUT THIS BOTTOM DOES CONTAIN A VOID IN THE SPACE IN THE BOTTOM.
RIGHT NOW WE'RE THINKING IT COULD BE A COUPLE OF THINGS.
AND I THINK WE'RE STILL WORKING THIS OUT RIGHT NOW.
THESE ARE WOODEN KIND OF PLANKS ALONG THE BOTTOM.
YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THESE IN PLANTERS BEFORE THEY KIND OF CREATE A SOFTER BUMPER AROUND THE BOTTOM.
THEY HAVE A SOFTER FEEL TO THEM.
WE'RE LOOKING CONCERNED ABOUT THE MAINTENANCE AND THE ABUSE THAT THEY MIGHT TAKE.
UH, SO IT COULD BE MAYBE IT'S A STONE.
MAYBE IT'S SOME OTHER ELEMENT.
AND THEN THERE COULD BE A IN HERE WE'RE TALKING INTERNALLY, THE CITY'S HAVING SOME DISCUSSIONS ABOUT IS THAT A MAINTENANCE ISSUE? WHATEVER.
THE KEY THING IS THAT THAT CABINET ALLOWS US TO BE ABLE TO PUT SOMETHING ELECTRONIC, A MONITOR, A SYSTEM, A CPU INSIDE THE BOTTOM OF THAT UNIT.
SO THAT GIVES US THE ABILITY TO UPGRADE AND ADD THINGS TO IT IN THE FUTURE.
SO THE STRUCTURE ITSELF IS, ARE THERE ALUMINUM STRUCTURES WITH AUTOMOTIVE BASED FINISH WITH A CLEAR COAT ON TOP OF THAT, THAT'S A UV AND ANTI-GRAFFITI COATING.
SO AS GOOD AS IT GETS IN TERMS OF GRAFFITI RESISTANCE, GRAFFITI STICKERS, MARKERS, THAT'S OKAY.
UH, WILLFUL DAMAGE WITH A SLEDGEHAMMER.
IT'S LIKE ANYTHING THAT'S GOING TO TAKE IT, BUT WE'LL, WE'LL, WE'LL TAKE A SLEDGEHAMMER BELOW IS THE MAC GRAPHICS THEMSELVES.
THOSE ARE A HIGH PRESSURE LAMINATE.
I ACTUALLY HAVE A SAMPLE OF IT HERE TODAY.
IT'S A GRAPHIC THAT'S SEALED IN RESIN.
AND IT'S THE STUFF THAT YOU WOULD SEE AT A NATIONAL PARK SERVICE MAP FOR THOSE INTERPRETED PANELS.
THAT'S OUT THERE, IT'S A 10 YEAR WARRANTY.
YOU COULD HIT THAT WITH THE BATTERY SLEDGEHAMMER.
AND IT'S ALSO UV AND GRAFFITI RESISTANT AS WELL.
IT DOESN'T STOP IT, BUT IT MAKES IT EASIER TO CLEAN OFF DUST MEANS THAT YOU DON'T DESTROY THE SIGN.
IF THERE'S GRAFFITI ON IT, IT'S STILL SALVAGEABLE.
STICKERS IS THE SORT OF BAIN NOW, RIGHT? SO HE'S BE MARKERS NOW IT'S STICKERS AND IT LEAVES THAT HORRIBLE RESIDUE.
THESE ARE BOTH HAVE THAT CODING IS, IS REALLY KIND OF SLICK.
DON'T STICK AS AGGRESSIVELY AS THEY DO TO, YOU KNOW, OTHER SURFACES.
THAT'S WHY WE SPECIFICALLY SPEC THE ANTI-GRAFFITI AND CODING ON THERE.
SO THINK ABOUT IT IN TERMS OF, THIS IS WHAT THEY HAVE TO PAINT IN MAJOR METROPOLITAN AREAS.
CAUSE PEOPLE WRAP TAPE AROUND ALL THOSE LIGHT POLES.
IT'S THE SAME CODING THAT THEY WOULD PUT ON THOSE IT'S AS GOOD AS IT GETS IN TERMS OF GRAFFITI RESISTANCE.
SO JUST TO GIVE YOU A SENSE FOR DIMENSIONALITY OF THIS, UH, YOU CAN SEE THE DIMENSIONAL OF THE BOX, THE FRAME STRUCTURE.
WHAT WE LIKE ABOUT IT, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER ON IS THE PLAY OF SHADOW AND LIGHT.
SO THIS DOES CAST A NICE SHADOW INSIDE ON THE PANELS.
AND THEN ALSO ON THE GROUND AROUND YOU ALSO KEEP IN MIND THAT WE'RE ALSO BESIDES THE AESTHETICS.
WE'RE ALSO THINKING FUNCTIONALITY, HOW THE SIGNS WORK SIGNS ARE ROUGHLY WE'LL SHOW YOU AFTERWARDS.
[00:35:01]
AND WE WANT TO RUIN THE SURPRISE, BUT WE HAVE TWO FULL-SIZE PRINTOUTS OF THESE KIOSKS ON THAT COLUMN ONES ON EITHER SIDE OF IT.SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY STAND IN FRONT OF IT AND SEE THE SIZE OF IT.
IT'S ROUGHLY SHOULDER WIDTH APART.
SO IT'S AS IF SOMEONE IS STANDING IN THE SIDEWALK, WE DON'T WANT IT TO BE TOO WIDE, TOO IMPOSING.
SO NO ONE STANDS, NO ONE CAN STAND BEHIND IT AND STARTLE, OR, YOU KNOW, AS YOU'RE WALKING, YOU'LL BUMP INTO PEOPLE.
AND THEN THAT SECOND SIDE IS AS KEY AS THE FIRST SIDE, BECAUSE FRANKLY IT COULD JUST BE A COPY OF THE FRONT SIDE OR COMPLETE SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
AND WHEN I SAY COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, IT COULD BE A CALENDAR STATIC OF EVENTS FOR THE WHOLE YEAR LISTING ALL OF THE EVENTS AND ALL THE DATES SO THAT WHEN PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT THE FRONT SIDE, OH, I NEED TO COME BACK NEXT MONTH TO DO THIS.
I WANT TO COME BACK FOR THE MARGARITA, JIMMY BUFFET, TRIBUTE.
WHEN IS THAT? SO THAT CALENDAR COULD BE ON THERE AGAIN, STATIC, NOT CHANGEABLE, BUT IT GIVES YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED.
UM, IT COULD BE SOMETHING LIKE AN INTERPRETIVE PANEL TURRET.
IT COULD BE, UM, SOME GRAPHICS EXPLANATION TEXT THAT EXPLAINS SOMETHING ABOUT THE CULTURE, THE NEIGHBORHOODS, THE HISTORY.
WHY IS DOWNTOWN SIGNIFICANT? WHO ARE THE FOUNDERS WE WERE OVER AT, UM, CHESTNUT SQUARE TODAY.
SO WE TALKED, WE LEARNED ABOUT WHO WAS THE ORIGINAL, UH, UM, IT WAS A SPONSOR OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
LIKE WE CAN COMMUNICATE THOSE STORIES THROUGH IT AND YOU CAN ALSO HAVE A CURE QR CODE ON THAT INTERPRETIVE SIGN THAT SAYS, IF YOU WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS, GO HERE TO SEE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS AND MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE HISTORY AND CULTURE.
SO THAT BACKSIDE IS THAT IS AGAIN, I WANT TO SAY ALMOST INFINITELY FLEXIBLE IN THE INFORMATION TO COMMUNICATE.
AND IF IT'S TOO HARD TO MANAGE THAT, JUST PUT ANOTHER MAP ON THE OTHER SIDE AND STILL FUNCTIONS THE WAY WE WANT IT TO.
WE WOULD RECOMMEND THAT NO MATTER WHAT WE PUT DO SOMETHING ON THE BACKSIDE.
CAUSE WHEN WE LEAVE THE BLANK SURFACE, THAT'S WHEN YOU GET THE STICKERS, YOU GET THINGS WE TEND TO SEE THAT YOU WOULD, IF YOU JUST PUT SOMETHING ON THE VACUUM OR LESS LIKELY TO, AND THEN KEEP IN MIND.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE STRUCTURE ITSELF, THERE'S NOT REALLY ANY PLACE TO TAPE POSTS, ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT ON THE FACES AND RIGHT.
IF THEY'RE OCCUPIED WITH CONTENT RIGHT NOW, I CAN'T STOP PEOPLE FROM POSTING SOMETHING OVER, BUT DOES DISCOURAGE THEM FROM JUST STICKING A SIGN OVER, YOU KNOW, PAPER, TAPING IT OVER SOMETHING ELSE.
I'M GOING TO WARN YOU AHEAD OF TIME.
THIS IS REALLY DRUNK DOWN AND DIRTY RENDERING.
AGAIN, AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH A CONCEPT, WE'LL DO A MUCH MORE PHOTOREALISTIC ONE, BUT I WANTED TO ILLUSTRATE WHAT THE SIGNS WOULD LOOK LIKE AND HOW WE SPACE THEM AND HOW THEY'RE COORDINATED WITH ONE ANOTHER.
SO IN THIS CASE, YOU'LL SEE THE HEIGHT OF THAT VEHICULAR GUIDE IS IMPORTANT FOR US BECAUSE IT GETS THAT INFORMATION UP OVER THE VEHICLES.
THINK ABOUT THIS AS A NORMAL SIZED VEHICLE, THINK ABOUT A VAN AS BEING SLIGHTLY TALLER.
YOU KNOW, SOMEONE'S GOT THE ROOF RACK ON TOP OF IT.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT SIGN IS VISIBLE THROUGH THE INTERSECTION.
WE'RE LOOKING AT MAKING SURE THAT THIS SIGN NOW, GIVEN THIS COPY HIVE IS VISIBLE TO FOLKS PRIOR TO THAT DECISION POINT, NOT THROUGH IT.
WE DON'T WANT THEM TO GET TO THE INTERSECTION.
AND THEN AFTER THE SIDE, WE WENT DOWN TO GET IN THE RIGHT LANE THAT THEY NEED TO MAKE THAT TURN BEFORE THEY GET TO THAT INTERSECTION.
THEN A COUPLE OTHER NOTICE, INTERESTING THINGS.
YOU CAN SEE HOW THAT FRAME NOW WITH THE COLOR OF THE BRICK AND KIND OF THROUGHOUT DOWNTOWN STARTS TO BLEND.
AND THEN THAT HIGHLIGHTED GRAPHIC ON THE SIDE STARTS TO BECOME SORT OF THIS ACCENT.
AND IT COULD SEE THE PANELS THEMSELVES KIND OF FEEL LIKE THEY KIND OF FLOAT ON THAT DESIGN ELEMENT THAT'S IN THERE.
I THINK THE SIGN DOES HAVE ENOUGH STREET PRESENCE, MEANING THAT IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR IT, YOU'RE GOING TO FIND IT.
SO OUR HERE'S OUR PEDESTRIAN KIOSK ROUGHLY SIZE AND SCALE DROPPED IN THERE AT AN APPROPRIATE LOCATION.
WE LOOKED AT THESE TODAY'S, THESE ARE ACCURATE LOCATIONS.
MESSAGING STILL MAY BE DETERMINED, BUT THIS IS, UM, VOCATIONS ARE ACCURATE.
THINK ABOUT THIS SIGN NOW, VISIBLE TO FOLKS WALKING THIS DIRECTION, SEEING THIS GREEN ELEMENT FROM THAT SIDE, AS THEY'RE CROSSING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND AGAIN, BE ABLE TO DRAW THEM TO IT.
SO AGAIN, IF YOU'RE SEEING THAT REALLY NICE ARE COMING DOWN THIS BLOCK HERE, YOU SEE THE EDGE OF THAT SIGN AND THEN COMING THIS WAY AS THE FUNCTIONAL ASPECTS WHILE SOMEONE'S HERE FINDING OUT ABOUT WAY-FINDING SOMEONE ELSE FROM THAT GROUP IS ON THE BACKSIDE READING A COOL INTERPRETIVE PANEL, LEARNING ABOUT THE HISTORY AND THE PERFORMING ARTS, THE CENTER.
WE HAVE BEGUN THE COLOR SELECTION PROCESS.
IT'S COLOR PALETTES AT THIS POINT.
SO WE'RE NOT PICKING A SPECIFIC COLOR, BUT IN GENERALITIES WE HAVE THIS KIND OF NARROW DOWN TO THESE THREE CATEGORIES.
WE'RE GOING TO ASK YOU TO PROVIDE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS IN THE SURVEY.
SO I'M GOING TO EXPLAIN SORT OF OUR THOUGHT PROCESS BEHIND THESE THREE COLORS, BECAUSE COLOR COULD BE AN INFINITE SPECTRUM OF COLORS.
WHY WE'VE SELECTED THESE THE GREEN.
THIS, THIS DOES NOT ACCURATELY REPRESENT THE COLORS.
THESE TWO SCREENS ARE MUCH MORE ACCURATE THE GREEN ITSELF AND THE FIRST ONE, WE REALLY LIKED THAT AS A NICE ACCENT AND COMPLIMENTING COLOR, THE GREEN AND BLUE REPRESENTING THE SKY AND REPRESENTING NATURE.
WE THINK THAT, THAT IN FACT, IF WE GO WITH THIS COLOR PALETTE, OUR NEXT STEP WOULD BE TO LOOK, SORRY, I CAN'T, YOU CAN'T SEE THAT OUR NEXT STEP WOULD BE TO TAKE THAT GREEN AND LOOK AT
[00:40:01]
DIFFERENT SHADES OF GREEN, DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF IT IN ORDER TO KIND OF, WHEN WE COME BACK AT SOME POINT, WE'D ACTUALLY BRING BACK COLOR SAMPLES THAT ARE MUCH MORE ACCURATE, BUT KNOWING THAT THERE A GREEN SPECTRUM THAT WE REALLY LIKE, BUT WE ALSO WANT TO EXPLORE A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS.UM, MAYBE IT'S NOT SO LITERAL WITH THE COLOR SELECTION.
THIS CENTER ONE USES OF A REALLY INTERESTING KIND OF A CHAMELEON COLOR THAT COULD BE GRAY, COULD BE GREEN.
IT'S ONE OF THOSE COLORS THAT SORT OF REALLY IN BETWEEN IN THAT SPECTRUM.
AND WE REALLY LIKED THAT IDEA AND THAT IT BLENDS IN THE DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS A LITTLE BIT.
UM, AND THEN WE CHANGED THE MESSAGE PANELS HERE FROM BLUE TO A BROWN, AGAIN, BRINGING A LITTLE MORE EARTHY.
SO THAT WAS ANOTHER PALLET DECISION.
AND THEN WE KIND OF WENT, UM, FURTHER OUT IN THE SPECTRUM TO CREATE MORE, A BOLDER COLOR PALETTE.
THE IDEA BEING THAT THERE'S THIS KIND OF HARVEST GOLD BACKGROUND, AND THEN WE'VE GONE WITH THIS KIND OF BLUE SCREEN MESSAGE FIELD, THE STRUCTURES ITSELF.
WE ALWAYS, AND WE'RE REALLY INTERESTED IN KEEPING THAT, EXCUSE ME.
AND THAT DARK COLOR AGAIN IS A SPECTRUM OF, OF COLORS AND FINISHES.
WE ORIGINALLY WERE THINKING CORTEN STEEL, YOU KNOW, KIND OF A RUSTED PATINA FINISH, UH, THERE'S ISSUES WITH ACTUAL CORE TENANT BLEEDS, A LITTLE BIT OF RUST.
WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO TOUCH THAT, BUT WE'RE THINKING COLORS THAT, UM, KIND OF CARRY THAT SAME KIND OF PATINA AND KIND OF AGED AND WORN LOOK.
UM, BUT WE REALLY LIKED THAT BECAUSE AS YOU SAW DOWNTOWN, IT DOES HAVE A CHAMELEON EFFECT IN DOWNTOWN, BUT OUTSIDE OF DOWNTOWN, IT CREATES THIS NICE DARK BORDER TO HIGHLIGHTS OUR ACCENT COLOR.
SO THOSE ARE KIND OF OUR IDEAS AND OUR THOUGHTS ABOUT COLORS.
UH, THERE QUESTIONS, CONCERNS AND THOUGHTS BEFORE I MOVE TO CONCEPT NUMBER TWO.
YOU KNOW, AT A CERTAIN ANGLE, IT WASN'T THAT THE GLARE AND THE VEHICULAR ON THE VEHICULAR GUIDES ON THESE MESSAGE PANEL HERE IS THE SAME AS THE DLT SIGNS.
IT'S UNAVOIDABLE BECAUSE IT DOES HAVE A UV COATING ON THE FRONT OF IT THAT DOES IT CREATE A LITTLE BIT OF A GLARE, BUT IT IT'S NOT ANY MORE DISTRACTING OR OBSCURING THAN ANY OTHER GREEN DOD SIGN.
UM, JUST THE REVERSE, NOT CLEAR WITH THE SUN'S GOING DOWN, THAT IS UNAVOIDABLE GOING TO SAY THAT, THAT IT REALLY IS THE SAME AS ANY OTHER SIGN THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE SHATTERED AGAINST STRONG LIGHT.
I DON'T SEE REALLY ANY DIFFERENCE THAN IT NEAR, UM, SHADOWING GLARE ON THESE PEDESTRIAN KIOSKS.
I HAVE A SAMPLE OF THAT AS WELL.
THAT DOES HAVE A SATIN FINISH TO IT.
THE GLARE IS CUT DOWN THAT'S SO WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE FINE GRAPHICS ON THERE, YOU'RE NOT HIT WITH A HARSH GLARE.
SO THAT DOES HAVE A NON-GLARE CODING TO IT.
THAT'S ALREADY BUILT INTO THE UV ASPECT OF IT.
I'M GOING TO MOVE REALLY QUICKLY THROUGH THE SECOND DESIGN CONCEPT.
I CAN PUT BOTH CONCEPTS UP TOGETHER AT THE VERY END SO THAT WE CAN DO A HEAD-TO-HEAD COMPARISON AND KIND OF TALK ABOUT THE DIFFERENCES AND KIND OF ANSWER QUESTIONS FROM THERE.
BUT LET ME GO THROUGH THIS CONCEPT HERE.
THIS ONES, WE TOOK THE UNIQUE PORTION OF UNIQUE BY NATURE AND REALLY KIND OF STRETCH THAT OUT TO CREATE A TRULY UNIQUE STRUCTURE AND, UM, UH, DESIGN HERE THAT HAS NOT BEEN IN OUR RESEARCH WE'VE SEEN OR HAVE BEEN DONE BEFORE.
AND THAT IS REALLY TO TAKE THE IDEA OF THE SHADOWING AND INTEGRATE THAT INTO THE ACTUAL DESIGN OF THE SITE.
AND OUR INSPIRATION WAS FROM TREE CANOPIES.
WE'D HEARD IN SOME OF OUR SURVEYS THAT PEOPLE LAMENTED THE FACT THAT WE'RE LOSING A LOT OF OUR TREES AND WE'RE LOSING THE CANOPIES.
AND YOU KNOW, THAT WAS AN INTRINSIC PART OF NATURE AND COMMUNITIES HAVING THESE, YOU KNOW, FOREST IT AND TREAT AREAS.
SO WE'RE GOING TO DO, AS YOU CAN SEE THAT EXAMPLE RIGHT HERE, WE LIKE THE WAY THAT LOOKS, WE THINK THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.
HOW DO WE RECREATE THAT IN ASSIGN, UM, WE TAKE AND UTILIZE SOME ELEMENTS OF SHADOW LIKE THIS AND PROJECTED, OKAY.
BECAUSE SOMETHING, AND IN ORDER TO DO THAT, WE CREATED A SIGN TYPE THAT HAS A, ESSENTIALLY A CANOPY ACROSS THE TOP OF IT.
SO THIS FIRST ELEVATION IS THE FRONT MIDDLE IS THE BACK.
AND THE FAR RIGHT-HAND SIDE IS THE SIDE ELEVATION.
WE TALKED TO YOU ABOUT WHY THE STRUCTURE LOOKS THE WAY IT DOES.
SO WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE'VE CREATED MESSAGE PANELS, FUNCTION EXACTLY THE SAME WAY.
THEY'RE ALMOST AT THE SAME HEIGHT, THE SIZE AS THE OTHER SIGN TYPE.
IT'S EVERYTHING ELSE BEHIND IT.
SO WE'VE DONE THIS, WE'VE CREATED A SINGLE POST CREATING A VERY NARROW SMALLER PROFILE.
SO WE WANT YOU TO YOUR ATTENTION TO BE UP AT THE HEAD UNIT AND NOT ON THE POST IN THIS CASE, ALL AT THAT TOP PORTION.
AND THEN WE'VE DONE AS YOU'VE GOT SOME STRUCTURAL ARMS, THOSE ARMS ARE MADE OUT OF A PLATE ALUMINUM.
SO THEY'RE HOLLOW IN THE CENTER.
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THIS GAP HERE, SITTING HERE AND THINK ABOUT, WELL, SOMETHING CAN SIT RIGHT IN THAT CORNER.
[00:45:01]
IS OPEN AND IT DROPS STRAIGHT THROUGH THAT.AND I'LL SHOW YOU WHY THAT'S IMPORTANT.
IF YOU COME TO THIS DESIGN HERE, YOU'LL SEE THAT LITTLE GREEN EXIT POPPING THROUGH.
WE PAINTED THE INSIDE OF THAT BRACKET.
SO THAT PAPA COLOR, AS YOU LOOK AT THE SIGN FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES, YOU SEE INSIDE THOSE BRACKETS, THE BRACKETS ARE IMPORTANT FOR US BECAUSE WHAT IT DOES IS IT, IT EXTENDS THE SIGN FACE OFF OF THE SIGNPOSTS.
WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT? WHAT THAT DOES IS THAT GIVES US THE ABILITY TO CANDLE LEVER, THAT, UH, SCREEN PANEL OFF THE BACKSIDE, CREATING A SPACE BETWEEN THE POST AND THE BACK OF THE MESSAGE PANEL.
WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT? BECAUSE IF WE DO THAT, IT ALLOWS US TO HAVE A FIELD BACKGROUND THAT SHADOW ACTUALLY IS INTEGRATED INTO THE ACTUAL DESIGNS.
SO THE REASON THAT THOSE BRACKETS ARE WIDENED AND SORT OF, YOU CAN SEE THE THICKNESS OF THAT BRACKET AND THE THICKNESS OF THE BRACKET HERE.
SO THE SHADOW CAN BE CAST ON THAT AND CAST ALL ALONG THE BACKSIDE.
UM, WE REALLY LIKED THIS CAUSE THAT'S GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF MOVEMENT WITH THE SUN.
THAT SHADOW IS GOING TO MOVE ON.
IF IT'S NOT AN ASSIGN IT'S ON THE GROUND AROUND IT, DOESN'T INTERFERE WITH THE MESSAGING.
IT'S ALL PART OF SORT OF CAMOUFLAGING AND CREATING THIS CANOPY OF THIS SHADOWING EFFECT AROUND.
AND IT CAN'T BE ON THE BACK OF THE DESIGN.
WE UNDERSTAND THIS IS A MORE MODERN LOOKING DESIGN.
THIS LIGHT COLOR HERE IS LOOK, LOOKS LIKE WHITE ON HERE, BUT IN OUR RECOMMENDATION IT WOULD BE A SILVER, A CREAM LIKE GRAY, EVEN AN IRIDESCENT METALLIC FINISHED, YOU KNOW, PEARLESCENT WHITE BECAUSE, AND THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE DARKER, THE COLOR, THE LESS SHADOW CONTRAST YOU'RE GOING TO SEE.
SO WE NEED THAT LIGHT COLOR TO REALLY HIGHLIGHT THAT SHADOWS.
THIS IS BACK TO YOUR EARLIER CONCERN.
WE'RE SHOWING AN EXAMPLE OF THIS SIGN BLOWN UP TO SIX INCH COPY HEIGHT THERE.
THAT'S PROBABLY NOT GOING TO BE PRACTICAL ON ALL THE LOCATIONS.
MAYBE SOME KEY INTERSECTIONS WOULD HAVE THIS BIG SIGN, BUT MORE THAN LIKELY, THERE'LL BE A SIMPLIFIED VERSION OF THIS BIG SIX INCH SIGN, MAYBE WITH THE SIMPLIFIED ROOF, MAYBE FLATTENED PANELS FOR MOST OF YOU SORT OF UTILITY ENTRANCE AND ACCESS POINTS.
IT'S DIFFERENT IN THE, THAN THE PREVIOUS CONCEPT BECAUSE OF THE, IT'S ESSENTIALLY A SINGLE-SIDED DESIGN.
WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE'VE TAKEN THAT CANOPY AND WE'VE EXTENDED THAT CANOPY DOWN THE BACKSIDE.
AND WHEN IT DOES, IT GIVES US THIS FIELD TO PUT ANOTHER PIECE OF INFORMATION IN THIS CASE RIGHT NOW I'VE GOT A BIG INTERPRETIVE INFORMATION.
THAT'S THAT SPEAKS TO THE, WHEN, WHEN, WHEN KING WAS COTTON, WHEN HE WAS CUTTING, WHEN COTTON WAS KING TALKS ABOUT THE COTTON HISTORY HAS SOME INFORMATION ON, AGAIN, TOTAL PLACEHOLDER, BUT JUST AN IDEA OF WHAT COULD BE COMMUNICATED BACK THERE.
IF THAT PANEL GOES AWAY, OR IF YOU WANT TO USE IT FOR EVENTS, SPACING AND IN BETWEEN THINGS, IT WOULD STILL BE, YOU WOULD JUST SEE THAT PATTERN BEHIND IT.
SO EVEN IF IT WASN'T THERE, YOU WOULDN'T REALLY MISS IT.
IT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE THE SHADOWING HERE THAT APPEARS BOTH THROUGH THE TOP AND THROUGH THE BACK, UM, ON THAT SHADOW ON THAT SPACE THAT WE'VE GOT HERE, WE'VE NARROWED THE SIGN DESIGN UP STILL AS OUR KEY ELEMENTS STILL HAS OUR BRANDED ELEMENT PIECE THAT APPEARS HERE AT THE TOP.
AND IN CASE I DIDN'T, BECAUSE I DIDN'T MENTION THIS BEFORE, UH, THAT IDENTITY, UH, WILL APPEAR AS THOUGH IT'S SORT OF FLOATING IN BETWEEN THE UPRIGHTS AND THAT BACKGROUND PANEL, BECAUSE THE BRACKETS ARE ACTUALLY HIDDEN BEHIND IT AND ATTACHED UP INTO THE CANOPY BEHIND IT.
SO IT'LL ESSENTIALLY, IT'S CANTILEVERED OUT.
IT'S KIND OF FLOATING OUT THERE IN FRONT, OTHERWISE THE STANDARD UTILITY ASPECTS, OVERHEAD GUIDES, MAPS SECTION, THE OTHER NEAT PART THAT IF WE'D LIKE WE CAN TALK ABOUT MAYBE BRINGING OVER TO CONCEPT.
NUMBER ONE IS THE INCORPORATION OF AN INTERPRETER PANEL ON THE FRONT SIDE.
THIS ONE HERE, AGAIN, IT'S THE SAME THEME, BUT JUST TREAT IT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY.
THE IDEA IS THAT AGAIN, IT COULD HAVE BRIEF HISTORY, QUICK NOTE, UM, QUICK REFERENCE, YOU KNOW, AND THEN POTENTIALLY THAT QR CODE LINK.
WE DID EXPLORE A DOUBLE, A TRUE DOUBLE-SIDED OPTION FOR THIS, WHICH REALLY THEN EXPLOITED THAT TRUE CANOPY THEME.
AND BY THAT, I MEAN THE CANOPY ARMS EXTEND MUCH FURTHER OUT, ACTUALLY CREATING SHADE FOR FOLKS IF THEY STAND UNDERNEATH IT.
AND THEN THE FRONT AND THE BACK SIDES WOULD LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME INFORMATION ON BOTH SIDES USING THE SAME CORE ELEMENTS, JUST RECONFIGURING THE POSTS A LITTLE BIT, SAME, SAME BRACKETS.
SO IT'S NOT AN EXACT DUPLICATE OF THE VEHICULAR SIDE.
IT COORDINATES WITH THE VEHICULAR SIDE.
I'M RUNNING THROUGH THIS QUICKLY.
I WANT TO LEAVE MORE ROOM FOR COMMENTS AS WE MOVE FORWARD.
UH, HERE'S OUR PHOTO RENDERING AGAIN, SHOWING WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE IN DOWNTOWN.
SIGNED FOR THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY.
SO IF WE DO NEED TO CUSTOMIZE THIS FOR DOWNTOWN POTENTIALLY PEDESTRIAN KIOSK, THERE IS AN OPTION TO MAYBE CHANGE SOME OF THE COLORS ON THIS.
AND WE TALKED ABOUT THAT MAYBE ONE OF THE KIND OF STICKING POINTS IS THAT IT ISN'T VERY CONTEMPORARY BECAUSE OF THE COLOR PALETTE.
MAYBE THERE'S A WAY OF BRINGING IN SORT OF COPPER.
MAYBE THE POST ITSELF IS THAT MORE RUSTIC BRONZE OR CORTEN STEEL WITH A COORDINATING ROOF TO KIND OF BRING IN SOME MORE OF THOSE
[00:50:01]
SOFTER BROWN ELEMENTS TO HELP BLEND A LITTLE BIT MORE INTO THE ENVIRONMENT, ESPECIALLY IN DOWNTOWN LAST TWO THINGS BEFORE WE JUMPED OVER, I'VE BEEN SHOWING YOU THOSE PATTERNS AT THE TOP AND IN THE BACK AGAIN, TOTALLY UP FOR DISCUSSION AND FOR INPUT AND DEVELOPMENT.BUT THE KEY WE WANTED TO NOT JUST SAY, TELL US WHAT YOU WANT ON THOSE MURALS, OR GIVE US AN IDEA.
SO WE'VE CREATED THESE, THESE THREE GENERAL, UM, DESIGNED DIRECTIONS TO HELP KIND OF GUIDE THE CONVERSATION.
SO THE THINGS THAT WE THOUGHT THAT THAT CANOPY OR THAT VERTICAL DESIGN ELEMENT COULD BE IS SOMETHING LIKE MAYBE IT IS A MURAL INSTEAD OF JUST BEING A DESIGN ELEMENT, THAT'S MORE ABSTRACT.
MAYBE IT DOES HAVE ASPECTS OF BIKINIS HISTORY INCORPORATED INTO SOMETHING THAT IS A LITTLE MORE, TELLS A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A STORY.
AND THAT'S INTEGRATED INTO THAT DESIGN.
CURRENTLY, WE'RE SHOWING THE, THIS OPTION HERE, WHICH IS THE MORE OF THE ABSTRACT VERSION, WATER TREES, PLANTS, MAYBE IT'S INTERPRETED A LITTLE BIT.
AND THEN THE THIRD DIRECTION WE DID WAS BRINGING IN THE IDEA OF THAT TRUE CANOPY IDEA, EVEN IN THE VERTICAL ONE, IF WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT LIVE OAK TREE BRANCHES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, OF BRINGING THAT DIRECTLY INTO IT.
IN FACT, ONE OF OUR DESIGNERS PUT THIS TOGETHER.
SHE THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE REALLY COOL IN THE CANOPY DESIGN OF ACTUALLY REFLECTING THE SKY AND SUN THROUGH THE TREES AND HAVING THAT BE REFLECTED THROUGH THE CANOPY AND TO THE GROUND.
THE IDEA OF RECREATING THAT THIS ACTUAL CONDITION FOR ME, PRODUCTION STANDPOINT CAN BE DIFFERENT PARTS OF TOWN.
SO TO BE DETERMINED YET, HERE'S OUR, HERE'S OUR THOUGHT BEHIND THIS, A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT WAYS TO HANDLE THIS.
ONE IS THE SIMPLEST OPTION IS EVERYTHING IS THE SAME ACROSS THE ENTIRE CITY, BUT MAYBE THAT'S, MAYBE THAT'S NOT THE BEST SOLUTION.
YOU KNOW, MAYBE THERE'S ANOTHER OPTION.
THE NEXT ONE IS MAYBE WE PRESENT THREE TO SIX DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THIS, AND MAYBE THEY REPRESENT ALL THREE OF THESE OR VERSIONS OF THAT.
AND YOU ALL LIKE THEM AND YOU WANT TO SEE THEM USE THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.
ONE IS THAT WE COULD DESIGNATE THEM FOR DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE COMMUNITY OR IT'S RANDOM.
IT'S JUST, YOU ENCOUNTER THESE DIFFERENT THEMES IN THESE DIFFERENT GRAPHICS AS YOU, AND MAYBE IT'S KIND OF THAT EASTER EGG HUNT AS YOU'RE DRIVING AROUND.
YOU'RE LIKE, OH YEAH, I SEE THAT.
THAT'S THE PLANT ONE AND THAT'S THE LIVE OAK ONE AND THAT'S THE ONE THAT REFLECTS SUNSHINE.
AND IT'S JUST KIND OF THESE NICE LITTLE EASTER EGG SURPRISES AS YOU'RE ENCOUNTERING THEM.
KEEP IN MIND THAT THEY'RE NOT, EVERYONE'S EVEN GOING TO REALLY, MAYBE EVEN NOTICE ALL THE DIFFERENCES.
THEY'RE JUST GOING TO BE THERE AS A BACKGROUND PANEL.
IT'S BUT IT'S A COOL KIND OF INTERESTING STORY TO HAVE, AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THOSE.
SO HERE'S THE SLIDE I MENTIONED BEFORE IT'S GOT BOTH CONCEPTS.
IN FACT, I'VE GOT BOTH CONCEPTS INTO 3D RENDERINGS AS WELL.
SO QUESTIONS, CONCERNS AND THOUGHTS, KIND OF JUST TALKING ABOUT BOTH DESIGNS, KEEPING IN MIND THAT WHEN WE LEAVE HERE, WE'RE GOING TO ASK YOU TO ESSENTIALLY VOTE ON WHICH ONE YOU'D LIKE.
UM, AND, UM, YEAH, I HAVE ONE OBSERVATION WITH WHAT YOU JUST SHOWED.
THERE SEEM TO BE A LOT MORE STRUCTURED, LIKE BACK ON STAIRS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
EVEN WHEN YOU HAD BOTH PANELS IN BETWEEN THERE'S ART PEOPLE THAT STUDY, UH, I, I WAS GOING TO SAY, I THINK WE DESIGNED OUR, ALL OF OUR SCIENCE TO A CERTAIN LEVEL.
I CAN BUILD THE SCIENCE AS A TANK TO RE RESIST ALL OF THOSE THINGS.
PROBABLY NOT GOING TO LIKE THE WAY IT LOOKS.
SO I BALANCED THAT WITH WHAT I THINK WORKS IN A COMMUNITY.
I LOOK AT WHAT YOUR ANNUAL RATE RESISTANCE, YOUR VANDAL RATE IS, ARE PEOPLE TAGGING AND DESTROYING CURRENTLY WHAT YOU HAVE OUT IN THE ENVIRONMENT? UM, HONESTLY WHAT WE FIND IS THAT SYSTEMS LIKE THIS COMMUNITIES TAKE A LOT OF PRIDE IN THESE AND THEY'LL TAG THE BENCH AND THE GARBAGE CAN AND THE THINGS NEXT TO IT.
THESE GET LESS TAGGED THAN I SOMETIMES I'M EVEN SURPRISED WE PUT STUFF OUT THERE HOPING FOR THE BEST, NOT IN ALL SCENARIOS, BUT YEAH.
COULD WE INCORPORATE THAT? WE COULD.
UM, I THINK THE REASON THAT WE DIDN'T DO THAT IS BECAUSE DOWN HERE INSIDE OF THIS GRAPHIC IS WE CAN INCORPORATE ALL THE DOWNTOWN BRAND AND WE WANT DON AT THAT HIGH LEVEL, BUT CERTAINLY WE COULD.
I THINK WE WERE THINKING OF KEEPING THIS SORT OF OPEN AT THE TOP, THE SPACE, CAUSE WE LIKED KIND OF THAT OPEN SPACE THERE, BUT ACTUALLY WE COULD ADD, EVEN ADD ANOTHER PANEL THAT SAYS HISTORIC DOWNTOWN, RIGHT ABOVE
[00:55:01]
THESE GUIDE SIGNS.MA'AM THAT'D BE ELECTRONIC OR WHATEVER ON FANTA WOULD THAT NOT BE, IT IS A BIT OF MORE OF A CHALLENGE ON CONCEPT NUMBER TWO.
UM, THERE ARE BECAUSE OF THE SPACE OF ALTURA AND THAT OPEN SPACE HERE IN THE CENTER, WHAT WE'D END UP DOING IS ACTUALLY CREATING A CABINET THAT FILLS THAT SPACE IN TO CREATE THAT VOID, TO DO THAT.
SO WE WOULD HAVE TO MODIFY THE DESIGNS.
AND IN FACT, WE WOULD PROBABLY DO IS AGAIN, HAVE MORE THAN ONE SIGN TYPE.
WE KEEP THIS ONE AS THE STATIC UTILITY ONE AND THEN HAVE AN OPTION THAT HAS THAT CABINET OR VOID.
WE'RE STILL DETERMINING THAT RIGHT NOW.
UM, KEEP IN MIND THAT WE'RE DOING THE CITY-WIDE PROGRAMS. SO IT'S KEY MAJOR INTERSECTIONS FOR PREACH CENTER SECTION AS YOU COME IN, UM, IN DOWNTOWN, THERE'S NOT AS MANY GUIDE SIGNS.
I MEAN, YOU'VE GOT ROUGHLY REPLACING THE ONES THAT ARE HERE NOW.
I THINK THERE'S A COUPLE MORE AND THEN KIOSKS THAT INTERSECTION.
IT'S NOT, YEAH, WE'RE OUR GOAL HERE, UH, CASE I DIDN'T MENTION THIS.
WE'RE NOT SIGNING FABRICATORS.
DOES IT MATTER WHICH CONCEPT OR, UH, WE'RE ASKING YOU FOR TO GIVE US DIRECTION, ONE OF, ONE OF THESE THREE PALLETS, DO YOU LIKE SORT OF THE, GREENSHADES THIS KIND OF MORE, UM, CHAMELEON EFFECTED KIND OF GRAYISH BLUE OR IS IT SOMETHING BOLDER AND THIS KIND OF HARVEST GOLD? SO, UM, I'M JUST WONDERING IF THERE IS A WAY IN
THAT'S AN INTERESTING THOUGHT AND YES, I MEAN THAT IN TERMS OF A WAYFINDING CUE IN THE ENVIRONMENT, THAT WOULD WERE GREAT.
I THINK IN TERMS OF KEEPING THE SCIENCE SYSTEMS MODULAR AND THE MAINTENANCE ISSUES WE WANT TO GO WITH JUST THE SAME COLOR, ALL OF DOWNTOWN.
AND I THINK ALSO FOR THE RECOGNITION, I THINK WHEN YOU SEE THAT WHATEVER COLOR IT IS, IT CATCH THAT GREEN.
YOU'RE GOING TO KNOW IT'S A WAYFINDING SIGN.
THE MAP ITSELF, WE GET TO THAT KIOSK WILL TELL YOU WHERE YOU'RE AT, TELL YOU WHERE YOUR PARKING GARAGES HAVE ALL THE STREET NAMES ON THERE.
SO HOPEFULLY THAT WILL HELP YOU REMEMBER WHERE YOU PARKED YOUR CAR.
HOPEFULLY WE'RE IMPROVING INFORMATION THAT IS ON THE SIDE.
SO WE'VE ALREADY DEVELOPED A PARKING PLAN THAT IS NAMING THAT IN A MORE INTUITIVE MANNER BASED ON THE STREET IN WHICH YOU WENT.
SO THOSE NAMES WILL BE OUT HERE ON THE MAPS.
WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT EACH OF THESE MAPS HAVE THOSE PARKING NAMES ON THERE.
THERE IS A, YOU ARE HERE WHEN YOU GET OUT OF THAT PARKING GARAGE, THAT PARKING AREA, YOU SHOULDN'T EXPERIENCE A KIOSK RIGHT THERE WITH A MAP THAT SHOWS YOU A MAP ORIENTED TO YOUR ENVIRONMENT.
SO YOU'RE NOT DOING WHAT WE CALL THE WAYFINDING PURE WET, OR YOU'RE SPINNING YOURSELF AROUND TO BRING YOURSELF TO THE ENVIRONMENT.
SO IT'S GOING TO SHOW YOU WHERE YOU ARE RELATIVE TO THE LOCATIONS AROUND YOU.
SO WE ARE HOPING THAT THROUGH THE INFORMATION WE'RE PROVIDING, WE'RE CREATING AN EASIER EXPERIENCE FOR YOUR VISITORS AND YOUR RESIDENTS WHO GET CONFUSED IN THE SURVEY.
WE'RE ASKING YOU TO RANK THESE COLORS.
ALSO, THERE IS A, FOLLOW-UP JUST KIND OF OPEN-ENDED QUESTION.
SO IF YOU HATE ALL OF THE COLORS, LET US KNOW IF YOU HAVE SUGGESTIONS FOR OTHER THINGS, AND THIS IS THE INPUT THAT WE NEED.
THIS COMMUNITY FEEDBACK IS SO IMPORTANT.
WE NEED YOUR BUY-IN FOR THE SYSTEM TO WORK.
SO TO PROVIDE THAT INPUT, I'M GOING TO GO TO THE LAST SLIDE.
SO IF YOU CAN REVISE, WE'LL START PRACTICING USING THOSE NOW, BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA APPEAR ON THE KIOSKS.
YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THIS, WE HAVE IT, YOU CAN DO IT FOR THIS SCREEN HERE.
WE ALSO HAVE, UM, SOME FLYERS HERE.
IF YOU WANT TO JUST CATCH IT ON THE WAY IN AND WAY OUT, UM, YOU CAN CATCH THE QR CODE HERE.
