Fogg, George E. FASLA. National Recreation and Park Association, 2005 mor, Page 2 nnw__�& Lakeville Park Signage Manual 2006 Prepared by Northwest Associated Consultants I kN t "Zolemewer, I I The goal of this Park Signage Manual is to provide uniform criteria for the development and implementation of signs for the City of Lakeville parks and trails system. The nature and quality of the parks signs will create an image that will represent Lakeville's parks. Having an organized and effective park signage plan will enhance the user's experience by providing necessary information in a clear, concise, uniform manner. The signs will be used to inform, guide, warn, and regulate park users. Overuse of signs can detract from their overall effectiveness; therefore, to be effective and achieve desired results, signs should meet the following criteria: E Fulfill a need • Command attention, respect and cooperation • Convey a clear, concise, simple and thematic message • Provide current, enforceable information • Be visible and attractive • Be appropriately located The objective of the Lakeville Signage Plan is to: • Create a consistent identity at all park locations • Display information that can be easily understood and recognized • Employ cost effective techniques, methods and materials to ease ordering and maintenance of inventory • Establish continuity of design, fabrication, and placement • Able to be flexible and adaptable to meet changing needs This sign manual will be the primary tool used to establish standards for the design, fabrication, installation, and evaluation of the sign system. 1121F, Page 3 now -6 FW Lakeville Park Signage Manual 2006 Prepared by Northwest Associated Consultants GENERAL SIGN DESIGN STANDARDS Uniformity of each park's signage will be a key element to a comprehensive signage plan for the City. Uniform signage will help to link individual facilities to the system as a whole and makes it easier for park guests to interpret information. Besides the signs being unique to Lakeville's parks, it is also very important that signs be to uniform to design standards more widely known, such as traffic signs. GRAPHic ELEMENTS Size Shape Color Signs use repeatedly throughout the City's park system will be a standard size for each park type. See individual parks for specifications. The shape of a sign at a glance inform the park user what the sign's intentions are; therefore, keeping the signs of similar shape maintains a clear and effective use of the sign to the park user. Square or Rectangle, with longer dimension horizontal, shall generally be used for entrance, directional and other informational signs. Octa-gon shall be reserved exclusively for STOP signs. Equilateral triangle, with one point downward, shall be reserved exclusively for the YIELD sign. Diamond shall be used to warn of existing or possible hazards All colors used for vehicle and bike traffic shall follow the national standards outlined in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Similar colors should be used in all park signage. The same colors should be used to convey the same messages through -out the City's Park System. White on Brown is used for the majority of informational type signs such as rules and directional signage for vehicle traffic. White on Blue is used to identify handicapped accessible facilities and alert park users to a particular and /or unexpected situation of which it is desirable to give park users notice. M27 Page 4 Lakeville Park Signage Manual 2006 Prepared by Northwest Associated Consultants White on Red is reserved for STOP signs and signs use to identify specific dangers. Red on White is used for regulatory and prohibitory signs. Black on Yellow is used exclusively for warning/caution types of signs. Orange is used for temporary traffic control on roadways and paved and other regional trails. Orange is also used with black and white for thin ice and lake aeration signs. White on Green andlor Green on White is used for signs pertaining to vegetation and wildlife. White on Green is also used to identify summer trail use. Black on White is used for some traffic regulatory signs. White on Light Blue is used to identify winter trail use. Letter Style The type face of park signage should be simple in style and form so that proportions and shapes can be seen and easily recognized. In most applications, typesetting shall comply to standards for the use of Veranda. Font styles should not be mixed rather variations of a single type, such as italics, bold, and size variations should be used for emphasis. The use of upper case and lower case letters should follow the standards indicated for each sign type as outlined in the individual section of this manual. Generally, signs should utilize "normal or standard" letter spacing. Letter Size Vehicular signs should follow a minimum of a 2 inch letter height for each thirty (30) feet as a maximum viewing distance to provide minimum legibility and pedestrian signs should follow a 1 inch minimum. Layout Sign layout address the spatial relationship between all sign components to develop an easily readable sign. 0 Text should be centered Flush right arrangements should only be used on certain directional signs Page 5 Lakeville Park Signage Manual 2006 Prepared by Northwest Associated Consultants Left/Right justify is for signs with large amounts of text such as rules or lengthy interpretive signs. Symbols Only symbols that are well recognized should be used. Symbols are useful only if they are recognizable at a glance. Generally, the use of recreational symbols should be used to identify trail use and on maps and directories where a key is provided. Graphics Logos All graphics should follow the international federal highway standards. Any shifting from these typical graphics is not recommended. For the City of Lakeville, new graphic characters will only be created for items such as interpretive signage and plant signage. The official City logo shall be used on all entrance, boundary, and other primary identification signs. The logo should also be incorporated into regional facilities within City to help promote and identify trails. Individual facility logos should only be used on signs unique to the particular park if the logo is easily recognizable by the community. Abbreviations Abbreviations should be kept to a minimum and only those commonly recognized and understood should be used. Acceptable abbreviations are: N North MPH Miles per Hour S South ST Street E East RD Road W West LN Lane MI Mile BLVD Boulevard K Kilometer JCT Junction AM Ante Meridian DR Drive PM Post Meridian MN Minnesota Arrows Lakeville Park Signage Manual 2006 Page 6 Prepared by Northwest Associated Consultants Arrows may point in any one of the five directions shown. Never use arrows pointing down or in any 4W intermediate directions other than shown. X Other than arrows on standard traffic signs, all arrows for the park signs should be enlarged or reduced proportionally to X the arrow shown to the right. Arrows for standard traffic signs shall use arrows of Y. appropriate size and style as detailed in the MUTCD. The x - c*M how h9W Y ..M information below pertains to signs specific for the parks, Z = -on other than those for vehicle traffic control. When only one directional arrow appears on a sign, it may be placed either to the left or above the message. MON. PICNIC AREA PICNIC AREA When more than one arrow appears on a sign, the arrow will always appear to the left of the message. 0011� PICNIC ARFA When two or more facilities are located in the same direction, these facilities shall be assembled in a group with each facility having its own arrow. M00- PICNIC AREA M1110- BASEBALJ- FIELDS Message To be effective, a sign must communicate its message quickly. Messages should be as brief as possible with lettering large enough to provide the necessary legibility at the desired distance. All messages, including rules, should be stated in a positive tone to promote compliance. Focus on what park users can do rather than what they can't do. Generally, prohibited activities should only be stated when a specific problem exists. mor Page 7 WL1,J# Lakeville Park Signage Manual 2006 Prepared by Northwest Associated Consultants MECHANICAL ELEMENTS Sign Presentation M How signs are presented contributes to their effectiveness and can enhance or detract from the visitors' perception of the City's parks. The following considerations should be given to the presentation of all park signs: The use of paper signs should be kept to a minimum and only used for very temporary situations when it is not practical or possible to request a commercially produced sign. Handwritten signs should never be used. If necessary, temporary paper signs should be computer generated and, if used outdoors, protected from the weather. 0 Signs shall not be stapled, taped or tacked to interior walls or building exteriors. Vinyl graphics and/or lettering shall not be applied directly to structures including, doors, walls, siding, etc. In such instances, separate signs should be made and mounted in a manner they can be removed when painting or replacement is needed. On an as -approved basis, vinyl lettering may be applied to door glass for such things as building hours. Signs shall be mounted in a uniform and consistent manner with other similar type signs. 0 Unless dictated by design, signs shall be mounted square, level and plumb. When possible, gather signs together into unified systems to avoid sign clutter. Too many signs diminish the effectiveness of all signs. Do not hang signs on existing signs. If additional signs are needed, the existing panels should be redesigned to accept added messages. While not preferred, temporary exceptions are acceptable in such instances as temporary trail closings for approved banners displayed on entrance signs. Approved supplementary signs are excluded. Signs should be in good condition. Signs that are faded, damaged, etc. should be replaced. 112F. Page8 most_" Lakeville Park signage Manual 2006 Prepared by Northwest Associated Consultants Sign Location Signs should be placed along the visitor's path to and through a given facility at points which require a decision or where pertinent information needs to be given to the user. The following are general guidelines in locating signs: Signs shall be placed to assure they attract the attention of the intended viewer with respect to the situation to which they apply. Signs shall be located such that they allow the viewer necessary time to make the proper response. Signs shall be set far enough off the path of travel as to not become a hazard or an obstacle. M Generally, signs should be located on the right-hand side of a roadway, trail, walkway, etc. Vehicle signs shall be individually erected on separate posts or mounting except where one sign supplements another. Signs should be located so that they do not obscure each other or are hidden from view by other objects. Generally, signs should be mounted at right angles to the direction of and facing the traffic they are intended to serve. At curved alignments, the angle or placement shall be determined by the course of approaching traffic rather than by the roadway or trail edge. Sign Height Regional trail and other paved trail signs mounted at a height of 54 inches as measured from trail surface to bottom of main sign. Supplemental signs are mounted beneath main signs. Two post panel type signs, such as park entrance signs, are to be mounted at a height of 36 inches as measured from the ground to the sign panel bottom. To account for uneven ground, the measurement should be made in the middle of the panel bottom. Boundary signs are to be mounted at a height of 54 inches to the bottom of the main sign as measured from the ground. Single post general information signs located at various facilities, for various purposes, are to be mounted at a height of 54 inches to the bottom of the main sign as measured from the ground. MOF Page 9 Lakeville Park Signage Manual 2006 Prepared by Northwest Associated Consultants Fiberglass trail markers are installed at a height of 54 inches to the bottom of the main sign as measured from the ground to the top of the post. Sign Materials A variety of materials can be used in the production of signs. Materials should bE determined by considering factors of cost, durability, longevity, and function. The following are typical applications of materials used in the fabrication and installation of park signs: Aluminum Roadway signs Parking signs Regional and other paved trail signs Boundary signs Stone monument entrance signs MDO Plywood Wood post park entrance signs In -park directional signs General informational signs Polyplate Small informational signs Sintra Special program signs Interior signs Changeable panel signs Wood Posts Entrance signs In -park paved trail signs In -park roadway and parking signs Directional signs General informational signs Vinyl/Scotchlite Decals and graphics Corex Temporary signs Metal U -posts Boundary signs Regional trail signs Some traffic and parking signs in remote areas Highway directional signs 2"x2" Metal Posts Roadway and parking signs as determined appropriate Fiberglass Posts Turf trails, marker signs for utilities, etc. MOF Page 10 Lakeville Park Signage Manual 2006 Prepared by Northwest Associated Consultants Illumination Reflective materials are to be used for all traffic control, highway guide signs, and regulatory and warning signs for roadways and trails. Graphics for park entrance signs are to be reflective vinyl. Illumination should be used for all highly used parks entry signage and where nighttime visibility is an issue. Lighting should be selected and positioned for minimum glare and reflection from all viewing angles. mr� Page 11 Lakeville Park Signage Manual 2006 Prepared by Northwest Associated Consultants ENTRANCE SIGNS Entrance signs are important for conveying information to park users as well as the public driving by the facilities. Entrance signs throughout the City should be used to provide clear and concise information in a uniform manner. The goals of the City's entrance signs should be: • Identify the entrance to a specific facility or group of facilities • Identify the park in which the facility is located • Create a system identify by identifying parks and specific facilities as part of the • City through use of the official logo, and uniformity of sign design. • Additional information may be added to a park entrance sign such as street addresses, partnerships, cooperative agreements etc. Several of the City's parks have multiple entrances. Different tiers of entrance signs should used to for the different levels of entrances. For example, a pedestrian entrance would require a different level of sign than a main vehicular entrance. However, the same general appearance of the signs is to be maintained throughout the park system. Signs should maintain the same overall appearance through the consistent use of color, font, logo, proportions, supporting structure, etc. Community Parks and Community Playfields Entrance Signs Use: Main park entrances Sign Size: 84" x 42" Support: Double 8"x8" wood posts or stone structure Special Use and Conservation Area Entrance Signs Use: Main entrances Sign Size: 72" x 36" Support: Double 6"x6" wood posts Neighborhood and Mini Parks Entrance Signs Use: Main entrance near parking area if applicable Sign Size: 72"x36" Support: Double 6"x6" wood posts Pedestrian Trail Entrance Signs Use: Entrance trails Sign Size: 60"x3O" Support: Double 6"x6" wood posts M23F Page 12 11111111&0� F'*W Lakeville Park Signage Manual 2006 Prepared by Northwest Associated Consultants Installation The general rule for installation height on all entrance signs is 36" from the ground to the bottom of the sign face. Generally, on a sloping elevation, 36" should be measured to the center of the sign bottom. Where required by local ordinance, signs will be enclosed on the bottom with wood grain horizontal lapped siding with a 5" reveal. All wood and metal components of the sign structure are to match architectural brown.

Boundary signs are important instruments in identifying park boundaries for both park staff and the public. Boundary signs are also an enforcement too to help reduce encroachment and other ordinance violation issues. Boundary signs shall be located and displayed in a consistent and uniform manner. Boundary Sign Locations The effectiveness of the boundary sign is greatly contributed to the proper placement. While exact location needs to be determined in the field, signs should be located in accordance with the following guidelines: E Signs area to be posted along the boundary at intervals no greater than 500 feet. 0 Signs are to be located one foot inside surveyed boundary lines Boundary corners are to be marked by locating signs one -foot in from boundary lines and three feet in either direction of property corner. Signs are to be located so they are not hidden from view by trees or other obstacles and are to be maintained as such Additional signs should be located in areas where persistent enforcement problems exist. Sign Mounting Boundary signs are to be mounted to black steel channel posts, 2.5 lbs./fppt, 7/16 inch punched on 3 -inch centers, standard length 9 feet. Boundary signs shall not be mounted on posts with other signs unless the other signs are approved supplementary boundary signs. E Sign mounting hardware is to be vandal resistant Boundary signs shall not be mounted to hi -line poles, trees, or other objects. In situations where a chain link fence is used to delineate park boundaries, it will be permissible to mount boundary signs to the fence as long as the mounting height standards can be maintained. Signs are to be mounted at a height of 54 inches as measured from ground to bottom of sign (height should be increased if needed to maintain visibility). If a supplementary sign is used, the sign height shall be 54 inches as measured to the bottom of the supplementary sign. mor Page 14 SOME_& Lakeville Park Signage Manual 2006 Prepared by Northwest Associated Consultants Sign Specifications TI I 1 30 36 Boundary Skit PARK BOUNDARY 0 Park Boundary 2 inch text Ordinance Enforced 34 inch text Tylpical sign location to mork pr(pertr corlit'll .11ounting Detail ---- Park Boundary Sign ---- Supplementary BoundatTsign If no supplementary sign is used, 54 If used, 54 inches is inches is measured to measured to bottom bottom of boundary of supplementary sign - I sign. Lakeville Park Signage Manual 2006 Page 15 Prepared by Northwest Associated Consultants MULTI PURPOSE TRAILS WAYS (MPTW) Clear and adequate signage is essential safety devices used on City trails. These signs provide information, alert users of potential conflicts, and relay regulatory information. Consistent signs provide clear identification and the necessary level of compliance for trail use. The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) should be used to address the specific needs of sign standards for Lakeville's trails. All signs, signals, and markings, including those on trail facilities, should be properly maintained to command respect from both the driver and the trail user. Signs should be regularly inspected and immediately replaced if stolen, vandalized, or damaged. Application and Placement of Signs All signs shall be reflective for use on trailways, including shared -use paths and bicycle lane facilities. On shared -use trails, lateral sign clearance shall be a minimum of 3 ft. and a maximum of 6 ft. from the near edge of the sign to the near edge of the path. Lateral clearance should be standardized along trail segments or within park locations, depending on should width, mowing patterns, etc. Mounting height for ground -mounted signs on shared -use trails shall be 4'6", measured from the bottom edge of the sign to the near edge of the trail surface. When overhead signs are used on shared -use trails, the clearance from the bottom edge of the sign to the trail surface directly under the sign shall be a minimum of 8ft. Signs for the exclusive use of the trail users should be located so that drivers are not confused. The clearance for overhead signs on shared -use trails should be adjusted when appropriate to accommodate typical maintenance vehicles. 3ft Min-6*ftMax Primary Squi DoDD RD Secondar) Sign 4 1 6" Minimum depth of Width of trail and shoulders allpos(sistobe3O'* Page 16 Lakeville Park Signage Manual 2006 Prepared by Northwest Associated Consultants City Trail Sign Posts E All sign posts used on City Trails are to be black steel channel posts. 0 2.5 lb./ft. black steel channel posts 0 7/16" punched on 3" centers Standard length 9' (longer or extended as needed to maintain 4'6" standard height) Park Multi -use Paved Trail Sign Posts All sign post on in -park multi -use paved trails are to architectural brown wood posts. 0 4"x4" .40 Green Treated, S4S, standard and better, with eased edges N Standard Length 9' (longer as needed to maintain 4' 6" standard height) Uniform Design The sign sizes for shared -use trails shall be those indicated in the IVILITCS and shall be used only for signs installed specifically for trail applications. The sign sizes for shared -use trails shall not be used for signs that are placed in a location that would have any application to other vehicles. E Larger sized signs may be used on shared -use trails when appropriate. Except for size, the design of signs for trail facilities should be identical to that specified for motor vehicle travel. Stop and Yield Signs STOP signs shall be installed on shared - use trails at points where users are V required to stop. YIELD signs shall be installed on shared -use trails at points where trails users have an adequate view of conflicting traffic as they approach the signs, and where bicyclists are required to yield the right-of-way to that conflicting traffic. Where conditions require trail users, but not drivers, to stop or yield, the STOP sign or YIELD sign should be placed or shielded so that it is not readily visible to drivers. Page 17 Lakeville Park Signage Manual 2006 Prepared by Northwest Associated Consultants No Motor Vehicles NO The NO MOTOR VEHICLES sign should be placed at any MOTOR point where roadways cross trails and entrances to trails. VEHICLES Stop Ahead / Yield Ahead STOP AHEAD and YIELD AHEAD signs 4 0 should be placed 100 ft. before crossings as <;> appropriate. Supplemental Plaques / Landmark Signs (City-wide Trails Only) Supplemental plaques should be attached below STOP sign to indicate street name. M Landmark signs should be attached below other signs where possible to reduce sign clutter by minimizing the number of sign locations and posts needed. Directional Arrows (City-wide Trails Only) Many local municipal trails and sidewalks intersect with City Trails. Directional Arrows are to be used as needed to identify City Trail alignment. To reduce the overall numbers of posts needed, directional arrow signs should be mounted on existing poets where applicable. Intersection Warning Intersection Warning signs can be used on a roadway, street, or shared -use trail in advance of an intersection to indicate the presence of an intersection and the possibility of unexpected turning or entering traffic. If used, intersection warning signs should be placed 100 ft. in advance of the intersection. Intersection Warning signs should not be used when the shared -use trail approach to the intersection is controlled by a STOP sign, YIELD sign, or a traffic control signal. In these situations STOP AHEAD signs should be used. Page 18 Lakeville Park Signage Manual 2006 Prepared by Northwest Associated Consultants Crossing Signs The Bicycle Crossing Warning and Pedestrian Crossing Warning signs alert the road user to unexpected entries into the roadway by trail users. While most of these signs are not the responsibility of the Park District, they should be monitored regularly. Guidelines for signing trail crossings of Park District roadways have been developed to standardize the marking of these intersections on a consistent basis throughout the Park District. Turn/Curve Warning Signs M To warn trail users of unexpected changes in trail direction or appropriate turns, curve signs should be installed no less than 15 rn (50 ft.) in advance of the beginning of the change or alignment. Surface Condition Warning Signs The Bicycles Surface Condition Warning signs should be installed where trail conditions could cause bicyclists or trail users to lose control. A supplemental plaque may be used to clarify the specific type of surface condition. Surface conditions that might be of concern to trail users include SLIPPERY WHEN WET, BUMP, DIP, and other word message supplemental plaques that describe surface conditions that are of concern may also be used. Other Warning Signs Other trail warning signs such as TRAILWAY NARROWS and HILL may be installed on trails to warn users of conditions not < > readily apparent. If used, other advance trail warning signs should be installed no less than 15 m (50 ft.) in advance of the beginning of the condition. • Other warning signs may be installed on trail facilities as appropriate. Object Markers • Obstructions within the trailway shall be marked with the h's POA appropriate object marker or delineation. N ;4 Type 3 — a striped marker, 300 x 900 mm (112 x 36 in.), consisting of a vertical rectangle with alternating black and retro -reflective yellow stripes sloping nor,& Page 19 Lakeville Park Signage Manual 2006 Prepared by Northwest Associated Consultants downward at an angle of 45 degrees toward the side of the obstruction on which traffic is to pass. The minimum width of the yellow stripe shall be 75 mm (3 in.) On Type 3 markers, the alternating black and retro -reflective yellow stripes shall be sloped down at an angle of 45 degrees toward the side on which traffic is to pass the obstruction. If traffic can pass to either side of the obstruction, the alternating black and retro -reflective yellow stripes shall form chevrons that point upward. Type 3 object markers with stripes that begin at the upper right side and slope downward to the lower left side are designated as right object markers. Object markers with stripes that begin at the upper left side and slope downward to the lower right side are designated as left object markers. When used for marking objects in the trailway or objects that are 8 ft. or less from the shoulder or curb, the mounting height to the bottom of the object marker should be at least 4 ft. above the surface of the nearest travel lane. When objects markers or markings are applied to an object that by its nature requires a lower or higher mounting, the vertical mounting height may vary according to need. Objects not actually in the roadway are sometimes so close to the edge of the trail that they need a marker. These include underpass piers, bridge abutments, handrails, and culvert headwalls. In other cases there might not be a physical object involved, but other trailside conditions exist, such as narrow shoulders, drop-offs, small islands, and abrupt changes in the trailway alignment that might make it undesirable for a trail user to leave the trailway, and would therefore create a need for a marker. MPTW CROSSINGS OF STREETS The information in this section is meant to help clarify and assure consistency of signage at multi -use trail crossings of City and park roadways. Roadways have been divided into three categories and should be used as general guidelines, recognizing a variety of factors to determine what is reasonable and safe. Primary Roadways Primary roadways are those roads generally thought of as main park entrance roads, or roads leading to main use types of facilities. Examples include roadways leading into recreation areas, nature centers or golf courses and generally have moderate -to -high volumes of traffic, at least on a seasonal basis. mor, Page 20 nr6lio F�'V Lakeville Park Signage Manual 2006 Prepared by Northwest Associated Consultants Where multi -use trails cross a primary City roadway, the trail traffic shall be regulated with the standard STOP posting. Vehicle traffic shall be warned of the crossing by the posting of the standard TRAIL CROSSING warning. The roadway should not be posted STOP unless for another traffic control reason or if an unusual safety issue exists. Secondary Roadways The volume of traffic on secondary roadways are classified as low to moderate, the typically receive daily vehicle use, at least on a seasonal basis. Secondary roadways may be roadways that branch from primary roadways and lead to specific facilities within a park such as a boat launch or reservation picnic area. Secondary roadways may also be secondary park entrances leading to a specific facility or group of facilities. Where multi -use trails cross a secondary City roadway, both the trail and the roadway shall be regulated with the standard STOP postings. Exceptions to stopping vehicle traffic may be allowed in situations where the roadway has been made obvious by the installation of access control devices (bike gates). Another exception to stopping vehicle traffic may be when it is determined that stopping vehicle traffic is impractical or unsafe due to the configuration of the crossing or other traffic flow considerations. When it is determined the roadway should not be a posted STOP, vehicle traffic shall be warned of the crossing by the posting of the standard TRAIL CROSSING warning. Limited Use Roadways Limited use roadways are roads used almost exclusively City staff, or roads that typically have less than daily use by the general public, such as a road leading into a group camp or maintenance shop. mor Page 21 Lakeville Park Signage Manual 2006 Prepared by Northwest Associated Consultants Examples of Signage and Markings for Multi -Use Paths at Street Crossings crosswalk line, as needed 0 . k : Shared -Use Patl- 113 Varies- see Seclion 9B 17 30 rn (100 ft)— � 4 rn I- 98m- 24rn D1 1 -1.,'P.47-5 cc W1l-VWl6_7P (811t) (321l) (8ft) MILE R&! <01, K AT W11 W169a (optionri Road�"y Intersocuon l(atfic control d evces as wartanted on eilhof facili*,y deponding on condilions 16M(50ft) (see Sectjoii 914.03) 11 2rn(4ft) 1.5 M (5 ft) m (4 ft) dM 'Al2 I (il no stop. yield- or signal control on palh) Shared -Use Palh -6 rn (15 111) RI 5-1 Op % 15 M (50 ft) 16 rn (60 11) Wft Example from Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways, 2003 Edition, Part 9 Traffic Controls for Bicycle Facilities KLakeville Park Signage Manual 2006 Page 22 Prepared by Northwest Associated Consultants SIGNAGE RELATING TO ALL PARKS PARK RULES SIGNAGE PARK FACILITIES SIGNAGE 211' ED MAKO ELC Ritter Farm Park To reserve this facility, call the Lakeville Parks and Recreation Department at 952-985-4611 20' iBK Lakeville Park Signage Manual 2006 Page 23 Prepared by Northwest Associated Consultants OVERLOOK SIGNAGE 3t, Title of Overlook Overlook Graphic dd Marsh Park SMALL OVERLOOK AND REST AREA SIGNAGE OVERLOOK & REST AREA 12" 2.5 miles Ritter Farm Pa rk TRAIL DISTANCE MARKERS — placed every one-half mile 2.5 miles 91 Pitter Farm Nark Lakeville Park Signage Manual 2006 Page 24 Prepared by Northwest Associated Consultants NATIVE PLANT COMMUNITY SIGNAGE 24" Prairie Restoration Area Ritter Farm Park 86,11, IN All signs are appropriate for the parks of Lakeville and should be used with respect to the layout of each park.
