Downtown Design Review Board December 16, 2009 Project: Downtown Wayfinding File Number: 12-B- 09-DT The city has been working on the Downtown Knoxville Wayfinding and Signage Program for several months. Earlier this year it selected MERJE, a Philadelphia- based firm with extensive experience in wayfinding and branding work, from among more than 20 companies that submitted proposals to lead the public process for input, create a design, establish sign locations and create a manual for maintenance of the signs and system. The goal of the wayfinding effort is to make it easy for visitors to navigate around downtown Knoxville as well as highlighting its attractions and offerings in an appealing and informative manner. The project area encompasses all of downtown including World’s Fair Park. The general boundaries are the Norfolk Southern Tracks on the north, the Tennessee River on the south, Hall of Fame Drive on the east and 11th Street on the west. After a series of steering committee, stakeholder, and public meetings, including a City Council workshop, the Design Development Package (15 October 2009), Revised (05 November 2009) has been submitted for Design Review Board review. This package takes into consideration all the comments that have been received to date and offers the Board an opportunity for input prior to finalizing the design development phase. The City of Knoxville requests the support of the Downtown Design Review Board for the general design direction of the Downtown Knoxville Wayfinding and Signage Program.
