Subject: Lakes at Lyndale Wayfinding Signage Discussion
(Worksession Agenda Item No. 1)
Council Members and Commissioners:
The Lakes at Lyndale area, centered around 66th Street & Lyndale Avenue, is home to
significant redevelopment, Richfield Lake, Woodlake Nature Center, and is considered
to be the City's "downtown". In 2013 a Connectivity Plan (Plan) was completed to better
integrate improvements throughout this area, and to encourage pedestrian travel.
Following approval of the Plan, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA)
contracted with Signia Design to develop wayfinding signage for the Lakes at Lyndale
area. Potential signage may include; gateway markers, interpretive signs,
directional/wayfinding signs and standard street signs.
Using feedback collected from residents via Richfield Connect, from staff, and from a
previous worksession held in October 2015, Signia Design has further refined two
design options (attached) for wayfinding signage to be located in the Lakes at Lyndale
area. Signia Design will be presenting these options at a joint worksession of the City
Council and the HRA on March 22, 2016 at 6:15 p.m. in an effort to garner additional
feedback and narrow the selection.

The Honorable Mayor Authority Commissioners

Members of the City Council
Subject: Penn Avenue Banners Discussion
(Worksession Agenda Item No. 2)
Council Members and Commissioners:
The Penn Avenue Corridor (Corridor) stretches from Highway 62 to 68th Street and is
home to many small businesses. Several years ago, the Penn Central group was
founded by citizens and business owners seeking to better market the area. In 2013
banners carrying the Penn Central logo were installed on streetlights throughout the
Corridor. Those streetlights have since been replaced with smaller, pedestrian -scale
lighting to improve aesthetics in the Corridor. The former banners were too large to fit
the smaller light poles, presenting an opportunity to create new banners for the Penn
Central area by soliciting input from a broader segment of the public. In late 2015 three
different artists each contributed three banner design options. These initial designs
were presented to the public at Penn Fest and put out for comment on the Richfield
Connect website.
Using feedback collected from residents at Penn Fest and via Richfield Connect, staff
has narrowed the field to two options (attached). Staff will be presenting these options
at a joint worksession of the City Council and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority
(HRA) on March 22, 2016 at 6:15 p.m. in an effort to garner additional feedback and put
forth a preferred banner selection.
