Earlier today, I posted a story about 3 successful local businesses. Toward the end, 3rd Selectman Melissa Kane mentioned one longstanding issue: helping visitors (and residents) realize there’s a lot more to downtown than Main Street.
She — and other officials — are addressing the problem.
And they need our help.
Kane also chairs the Westport Wayfinding Steering Committee. They’ve hired MERJE — a “nationally recognized wayfinding design firm” — to create a “master wayfinding plan for downtown Westport and the gateways to the town.”
(“Wayfinding” helps guide motorists and pedestrians to parking and destinations using signage, maps and digital plans.)
The committee and MERJE have developed a survey about downtown design and directions. They’ve sent it to merchants and landlords. Now they want public opinion.
Click here to participate. It’s open through next Wednesday (April 17.)
