1 ADDENDUM 1: PARKING & WAYFINDING SIGN PLANS & SPECIFICATIONS MIDDLEBURY VISITOR SERVICES PROJECT

2

3 Overview The intent of the additional parking and wayfinding signage proposed in this Addendum #1 is to provide Middlebury visitors wayfinding information to access municipal parking areas and to specifically attract drivers and pedestrians to the Mill Street Parking Lot. The Mill Street Lot is the location of 1) the Visitor Services Interpretive Sign #1 titled Middlebury All Year Long, which provides information on recreational and cultural activities in the Middlebury area, and 2) ample parking for visitors including 6 parking spaces for electric vehicles and designated overnight parking. Additionally, the Mill Street lot is located adjacent to the Otter Creek Falls basin where there are a number of areas allowing river access for kayaking, fishing or exploring the river; the lot is also an ideal spot to begin a bicycle ride on one of the nearby Lake Champlain Bikeway routes. NOTES RELATED TO ALL SIGNS: 1. All signs are located and designed to reduce turning against traffic. 2. Existing signage installed on lampposts should be removed and replaced within the Town s ROW (see specifications for details). 3. LandWorks will provide outlined, InDesign files for all graphics for sign panel fabrication. 4. Final location of all signs will be confirmed in the field with Town Officials and LandWorks staff.
