Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space

"A community’s physical form, rather than its land uses, is its most intrinsic and enduring characteristic." [Katz, EPA] This blog focuses on place and placemaking and all that makes it work--historic preservation, urban design, transportation, asset-based community development, arts & cultural development, commercial district revitalization, tourism & destination development, and quality of life advocacy--along with doses of civic engagement and good governance watchdogging.

Greater Knoxville Greenway signage framework

After reading an article ("Knoxville's $45 million plan calls for 13 new greenway links," Knoxville News-Journal) about a new plan for integrating the Knoxville trail system and supporting bicycling for transportation systematically by reconceptualizing it as a network through the creation of necessary connections and extensions, I looked up the Third Creek Greenway, which was mentioned as the only greenway currently focused on transportation, as it originally was developed to connect a college student housing district to the University of Tennessee.

I came across some images of signage on the Third Creek Greenway, which is an example of the Greenway (and river-focused "Blueway") signage system that was developed for Metropolitan Knoxville.

I like it not just because it includes map signage, but because it is a reasonably complete signage framework.  The designer is John Innes, who has created interesting designs for other types of maps, guides, and interfaces.

The Greenway signage framework developed for Metropolitan Knoxville, particularly exemplified by the signage on the Third Creek Greenway, stands out as a comprehensive and thoughtfully designed system. As Knoxville moves forward with ambitious plans to enhance its trail system and promote bicycling for transportation, having clear and intuitive signage becomes paramount for guiding residents and visitors alike. The inclusion of map signage adds an extra layer of utility to the framework, allowing users to navigate the greenways with ease and confidence. Credit to designer John Innes for his innovative approach to creating cohesive and visually appealing signage that enhances the user experience.
