I can't say I've thought about this much. I do think about it terms of parks, and using National Park Service style posters with a design language created in the 1930s.

Modern version. Poster not produced by the National Park Service.
Now that I think about it, they are reminiscent of the transit marketing posters produced by railroads, and for transit specifically, the London Underground ("Birth of the London Underground Posters," Art Institute of Chicago, "Frank Pick: the forgotten genius of the London Underground," Gallery, Telegraph, "The Hidden Women Behind London’s Beloved Modernist Transit Posters," Bloomberg), and Chicago Transit.

Modern CTA poster promoting rehabilitation of Wilson Station.
Making these kinds of posters could be a way to engender goodwill for transit infrastructure projects.
