Project Overview

In January of 2024, the City of Raleigh’s Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Resources Department began a year-long process to develop a Capital Area Greenway System Wayfinding Plan. This wayfinding plan will develop new directional signage that will improve navigation for trail users whether they’re using the system for recreation or transportation. New signage types will include both text and map-based information, distance to major destinations and amenities as well as provide context for what is in the immediate vicinity of a sign that may not be visible from that location. The Plan will also include a decision-making guide to help determine where specific signs should be placed and what type of information should be included.
