DESCRIPTION

The issuing organization seeks a qualified vendor to develop a wayfinding master plan focused on the Central Business District and multimodal transportation. The plan should guide users of all travel modes to key destinations within the district and provide directional signage referencing important destinations outside the district where appropriate to support navigation and connectivity.

The work should address wayfinding elements outside the district that direct visitors toward key entry points, corridors, and gateways. It should also establish clear, consistent, public-facing, evergreen nomenclature where established names do not exist or where conflicting or inconsistent names are currently used.

The vendor will assess the current role of wayfinding in communicating parking options, identifying destinations, and supporting transit, bicycling, walking, and other mobility options. Recommendations should identify opportunities to improve the experience of visitors and residents, support economic development and placemaking, strengthen district identity, and provide inclusive, accessible navigation strategies for diverse user groups.
