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.
