Shelburne Gateway
Shelburne Gateway
A loyalist community
In consideration of the challenges presented, we proposed a sequence of four components to help encourage visitors to visit the town centre and clarify their directional route. The system thus far consists of a community identification sign located along the 100-series highway to identify an appropriate exit; enticement signage in the form of banners; a gateway sign that includes directional information; and assurance signs to lead visitors to the downtown and historic waterfront districts.
Future projects may seek to integrate with, or complement this system by introducing parking directional information, pedestrian oriented wayfinding, and or interpretive elements.
