The
Ohio & Erie Canalway Association, with support of Ohio Canal Corridor
staff, is preparing a comprehensive signage plan for theCanalway. Several
distinct signs have been developed to provide a "family" of
sign products that provide directional information while building identity
for the Ohio & Erie Canalway. Vehicular signs to be placed in the
public right-of-way include Byway Markers, Wayfinding Signs, and Trailhead/Parking
Signs. The Confidence Marker will be placed within the driveway of a
Canalway destination, park or attraction to identify the site as a Canalway
Site. Pedestrian wayfinding signs will be placed along the Towpath and
connector trails to provide directions to major sites and attractions
along the Towpath Trail System. Pedestrian kiosks will introduce the
Ohio & Erie Canalway: its three modes of transportation (Towpath
Trail, America's Byway, and Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad), and its
core story; they will be placed along both the tail system and byway.
The Ohio & Erie Canalway Signage Committee has been meeting for
more than a year, to discuss this vehicular and pedestrian wayfinding
signage plan for the entire Ohio & Erie Canalway, which stretches
from Cleveland to New Philadelphia and includes four counties and 58
jurisdictions. The Committee is co-chaired by Ohio Canal Corridor's
Tim Donovan and Cuyahoga County Planning Commission's Rick Sicha. Cloud
Gehshan Associates of Philadelphia is the lead consultant. Committee
members represent a mix of geography and expertise and include all four
county engineers, three park districts, the National Park Service, local
municipalities, museums, and attractions.
