The City of Richmond is seeking public input as it creates a Community Wayfinding Strategy to help residents and visitors navigate through Richmond with ease—by foot, on wheels, or via public transit. From now until March 26, there will be a number of opportunities to share feedback, both in person and online.
Wayfinding connects people to their surroundings and helps them find their way—for example, through directional signage and visual landmarks. Wayfinding can also promote attractions, places of special interest, and the best routes for moving through the city.
“As Richmond grows as a place to live and visit, the city wants to unify and enhance Richmond as a vibrant destination through improved wayfinding,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie. “We encourage input from residents and stakeholders, whose ideas and priorities will shape the Community Wayfinding Strategy that will help elevate the city experience for residents, visitors, and newcomers.”
Members of the public can share input by visiting LetsTalkRichmond.ca/wayfindingstrategy to learn more and complete an online survey. The survey will be open until 11:59 p.m. on March 26.
People can also drop by one of the following pop-up events:
- Sunday (Feb. 26) from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., adjacent to the Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site in Steveston Village
- March 11 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Lansdowne Centre parking lot adjacent to the Lansdowne Canada Line Station
Mandarin and Cantonese interpreters will be at these pop-up events to assist with translation of questions and comments.
The Community Wayfinding Strategy will include implementation recommendations such as new signage, digital wayfinding systems, and potential pilot projects. It is anticipated to be completed in spring 2024.
