On February 11, 2009, a group of Fauntleroy-area residents met to discuss how to select locations for the three kiosks scheduled to be sited in the general Fauntleroy area and where to place the twenty on-street stanchions which will have trail and wayfinding signs attached.
At the February 11 meeting, attendees identified a set of destinations which visitors and area residents would want to get to on foot. These are the locations where one could be reasonably expected to walk to from anywhere in the general Fauntleroy area:
The map below shows which streets and trails would connect to the destination areas listed above. The probable next steps are to identify specifically where the three Fauntleroy-area kiosks should be located and then where the 20 on-street stanchions should be located. The blades on each of the 20 stanchions will also have to be identified and the destination locations and distances determined.
Clicking on the map opens a new window with a slightly larger version.
These three Fauntleroy-area kiosks are the first in this series and will be followed by design and location charrettes for kiosks located in the Alki and Admiral areas later this Spring. These three kiosks will have 20 on-street wayfinding markers. The image next to the map above shows wayfinding stanchions located in the Westlake area and, except for the color of the blades, are the same as what will be located in West Seattle. Westlake and Eastlake have a white-letter-on-blue color scheme, West Seattle will have white and green as the color scheme for the trail signs.
The tentative schedule for the 10 kiosks is:
First three to be worked on will be the ones in the southern end of the peninsula - Fauntleroy ferry area, Lincoln Park area, Endolyne area. RFQ for artist/fabrication selection has been issued.
Hold second district wide workshop on December 11th, 2008 - (accomplished, had decent turnout and worked issues of art selection and thematic identification).
Meet with Fauntleroy community before end of year to identify community involvement for mileage, direction finding and language for the trails signs - (accomplished, had decent turnout and began art process and siting process).
Develop the local content and art concepts for the three Fauntleroy area kiosks and begin neighborhood assessment for location of roughly 20 on-street markers (trail signs and blades). Have signs and kiosk sited by end of January 2009- (deferred due to Winter storms and the delaying effect it had on the schedule).
Identify SDOT required information by early February 2009 and relay this information to Jennifer Britton and SDOT permits office. Begin kiosk development with content and art activities in community aiming for installation of the three Fauntleroy-area kiosks by March.
Late February 2009 begin initial community outreach program for Alki-Admiral area kiosks (four located near Mee Kwa Mooks, Alki Statue of Liberty, Admiral Junction and Beverly Viewpoint areas). Hold community meetings for content for Alki-Admiral kiosks in March and April, begin community involvement for trails signs in March with mileage, direction finding and language for the blades well underway by end of March so permitting process can be started with SDOT. Expect kiosk development for content and art to begin in April and continuing through May with installation of these four kiosks in the Alki and Admiral area by late June.
Begin initial community involvement process for Alaska Junction and Morgan Junction kiosks in May 2009 with community content and art meetings expected to occur in June-July timeframe, trail signs location and permitting occurring by August with kiosk development and installation to be accomplished by late August-early September 2009.
