Recommended Action
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the final City of Manhattan Beach Signage and Wayfinding Master Plan and provide direction to staff on which elements should be implemented first.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
The estimate for citywide implementation of the Signage and Wayfinding Master Plan (Plan) is estimated to be just under $930,000. However, the elements called for in the Plan can be implemented in phases based on the City's priorities and wayfinding objectives. The estimated cost for implementation of each phase is as follows:
Phase Estimated Cost
Parking (wayfinding signs, fa?ades) $347,184
Identity (monuments, logos, banners) $362,515
Regulation Signage $114,983
Amenities (light pole art, obelisks) $51,013
Miscellaneous Expenses $52,080
Total $927,775
Note that this estimate only provides a basis for budgeting and is not the actual cost that may be incurred. The cost for implementing any item or phase will ultimately be based on a competitive bid process and may differ from the estimates provided above.
No funding has yet been designated for implementation of signage and wayfinding program. Should City Council direct staff to proceed with wayfinding elements, the Parking Fund may be considered for certain elements related to parking structures and associated wayfinding, as well as the General Fund for broader city signage, if sufficient resources are available.
