7. New Business
A. Wayfinding Scope of Services
Mr. Sanders explained that the new Lafayette Street interchange poses an opportunity for wayfinding
signage and aesthetics. He stated that some communities have experienced economic growth due to
wayfinding systems. Mr. Sanders explained that at their September 21, 2013 meeting the Board of Directors
approved amending the FY2014 Unified Planning Work Program scope of work to pursue wayfinding and
aesthetic opportunities and directed the Technical Committee to draft a scope of services. He stated that
$24,000 is available in the FY2014 work program budget to hire a consultant to assist in the development of a
wayfinding plan. Mr. Sanders explained that wayfinding signage is funded locally.
Mr. Mike Dusenberg, Missouri Department of Transportation, explained that aesthetics need to be
identified as soon as possible to be incorporated into the project however wayfinding signage can be done
separately from the project. He stated that MoDOT will fund the green guide signs that will take motorists off
of the interchange onto Lafayette Street however wayfinding signage is funded locally. Mr. Dusenberg
explained that wayfinding signage on the expressway requires a city to identify a minimum of three (3)
districts citywide. He stated that each wayfinding sign on the city system is limited to a maximum of three (3)
destinations. Mr. Dusenberg explained that on the local system you have to determine the destination, the
design and the location of the signs.
Mr. Bob Gilbert explained that he is volunteering on behalf of the Jefferson City Area Chamber of
Commerce to pursue wayfinding opportunities. He stated that they are currently working on concepts and
visuals of what this could look like and what this could cost. Mr. Gilbert explained that a consultant could
dedicate more time to the public involvement process so that the wayfinding and aesthetics tie together and
people feel that they have more input. He stated they are trying to develop some concepts, on volunteer time,
to generate interest and public involvement.
Mr. Landwehr recommended that staff work with MoDOT to start the Request for Qualifications process
and send to the Technical Committee for their review and comments.
