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.

Walk Ketchum pedestrian program signage on streetlight poles, Idaho

So simple.  Any place can do this.


However, the Ketchum Master Transportation Plan doesn't mention this scale of pedestrian signage.  

Similarly, while the 2006 Downtown Master Plan does mention pedestrian wayfinding and offers some examples from elsewhere, it didn't include photos of what they ended up with.  Which is pretty subtle and easy.

There was a Walkable Ketchum group, but given that the last post is 14 years old, I'm guessing they accomplished what they wanted, and moved on.
