Memorandum
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Copy: Steven C. Mielke, City Manager ~
From:
Steven J. Stadler, Public Works Director
Date: July 18, 2002
Subject: Hopkins Trail Signage Discussion
There's a need for City trail signs to help orient trail users to the other city and regional
trails, to point out nearby city features/attractions and to generally promote the City.
One objective of the 8th Avenue street improvements was to place signage at strategic
trail locations to identify the 8th Avenue connection between the north and south
. segments of the SWLRT regional trail and show Hopkins Mainstreetldowntown area.
Staff is proposing to purchase trail signage that is complementary to the new Hopkins
Parks & Trails brochure and place them at various locations on the city and regional
trail systems. The current CIP includes $5,000 for a 2003 project to install trail signage
and amenities. The attached city map shows some potential locations for city trail
signs. The proposed signs would have high-quality resolution and color with durable
sign faces and mountings. At the work session, staff will present a color example of a
typical sign, as well as details on the proposed construction and cost/sign.
