The TBDF Area
Gateway and Wayfinding Signs Project
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
To promote the TBDF area’s many assets, a gateway and wayfinding signs project is being developed.
The input of residents, business owners, their employees, and visitors was gathered to get a better idea of what people think will enhance the TriBoro area’s image and make the sign system most useful.
PROJECT GOALS
1. Articulation of TBDF community’s future vision and their “public face” to visitors, focusing on community assets, institutions, and amenities
2. Design, produce, and install gateway and wayfinding signs
3. Enhance the image of TBDF communities and make travel to the area and throughout the area easier and more interesting for visitors
TBDF SUPPORT
Public safety review, zoning matters, and site control will be facilitated by TBDF. Each local municipality will be engaged in selecting final design elements and placement. The municipalities are already in support of the project but will need to review specifics when they are developed.
PROPOSALS ARE DUE BY 4:00 PM ON FEBRUARY 29, 2008
