Update and recapProject scope
Following completion of the Toronto Parks & Trails Wayfinding Strategy in August 2014, the City is proceeding with Phase Two – pilot implementation.
Phase Two includes consultation with stakeholders, detailed graphic and product design, and implementation in the Lower Don Pilot Area.
Phase Two implementation is expected to be complete in fall 2016. The City recently completed its pre-evaluation and will undertake a post-evaluation of the pilot after this date.

Phase two update and recapStrategic Objectives
Phase One established strategic objectives and wayfinding considerations to inform Phases Two & Three:
• Provide consistent identification, orientation and navigation in and around Toronto´s parks and trails
• Encourage visiting, exploring and appreciation of Toronto´s natural assets
• Serve all park and trail user types regardless of ability• Reduce clutter and redundant infrastructure on parks and
trails to enhance the natural environment• Be economically viable and sustainable

What we learnt - Second round feedbackStakeholder and public feedback March 2015
Who we receivd feedback from:
• Advisory committee (30th March)• Wayfinding stakeholder group (1st April)• Digital stakeholder group (1st April)• Online survey (Thursday, April 9 to
Thursday, April 23)
We also had a temporary exhibition of the project boards at the Evergreen Brickworks for the duration of the online survey.

What we learnt - second round feedbackStakeholder and public feedback March 2015
These key messages reflect common themes that emerged in discussions.
• Positive feedback was evenly split between Concept B and C• Use of natural materials in some of the sign designs
is welcomed• Interpretive information and information about municipal
addresses is very important• Further explanation is required to show the designs
consider accessibility• The solution needs to be cost effective and easy to
update on-site• The wayfinding identifier icon needs further consideration
beyond this project

Concept C
Likes:• Respondents liked the distinctiveness• Stylish, modern, solid, and identifiable• Many liked the high contrast on the sign
Concerns:• Feeling that the sign was “too urban”• May not integrate well with or even disrupt
its surroundings
Overall:• Several respondents felt that concept C would
look more appropriate in an airport than a park, and many said it would not be appropriate for parks and trails.

Integration of graphic elements include (where applicable):
• Font (Gotham Narrow)• Dual naming hierarchy
(area name > place name)• City of Toronto standard symbols
for services and facilities• Depiction of transit services• Mapping conventions• Accessibility symbol
Consistent naming conventions at destination, place and area/neighbourhood level is a must.

Mapping conceptApproach
TO360 mapping database provides a starting point to produce map outputs for park and trails.
Pros• Reliable data inputs (supported by
the Open and City data)• Validated by stakeholders and the
public• Consistent neighbourhood and area
naming• Consistent destination hierarchy• Up-to-date transit information

27
Mapping conceptApproach
Opportunities• Prioritize green spaces• Simplify urban context• Retain main destinations and
landmarks• Retain key transit links• Increase visibility and legibility of
graphic elements TO360 database currently only covers a small portion of Toronto (less than 1%). Multi-agency collaboration would support system expansion and enable cost-savings.

Mapping conceptApproach
Fill the gaps• Park amenities: washrooms, sport
facilities• Natural features: gardens, water
features, woodland• Access/terrain features (steps, ramps,
bridges)• Trails: Multi-use recreational trails,
national/provincial trails, Discovery Walks
• Sub-area naming and identification (paths, dog areas, gardens, ESA’s)

Anodized aluminum key benefits:
• Durability - extremely long life span and offers significant economic advantages through maintenance and operating savings
• Ease of Maintenance - scars and wear are virtually non-existent. Rinsing or mild soap and water usually will restore an anodized surface to its original appearance
• Environmental - anodizing uses the base metal to create a thin, extremely strong and corrosion-resistant finish. The anodized surface is very hard and thus preserves and extends the life of the aluminum product

Polyester powder coat key benefits:
• Resistance to sunlight and UV degradation, saltwater attack and corrosion
• Commonly used - as it is hard, and has very good abrasion resistant properties
• Life span - powder coating offers a wide range of durable colour coatings with a guarantee of up to 25 years
• Anti graffiti - finishes can be applied to the final specification for external applications to mitigate the impact of vandalism
• Harder - and more resilient coating than paint

Signage conceptsSecurity and vandalism
• No product can be called vandal proof however we can minimize the impacts of vandalism or damage
• Security fixings - two hole security screws, sometimes known as snake eye require a 2-pin driver to install and remove and are countersunk
• Interchangeable - panels can be cleaned using a mild non-alkaline detergent in warm water, severely damaged panels can be cost effectively replaced
• Cleaning - in areas of ‘standard’ urban environment a maximum period of 12 months between cleaning operations is recommended STEER DAVIES GLEAVE

Signage conceptsAccessibility
Physical considerations:
• Material choice: anodised aluminium to avoid glare but retains robustness
• Location criteria: predictable, accessible and consistent locations, not hidden
• Flush finish to prevent trip hazard• Sign product contrasts with the environment• Potential for future integration of
complementary digital wayfinding technologies

Graphic considerations:
• Sans-serif fonts, white on dark background• Standard symbols, consistent with City of
Toronto and TTC• Key directional information has minimum 70%
contrast (AODA guidelines)• Detailed information placed between 90 and
140 cm from the floor• Combines map and text information to
facilitate understanding and provide two opportunities to read/understand messages for users of differing abilities
