Downtown Gardner Wayfinding Study

Gardner MA Wants Your Opinion on What Signage Works for You

The City of Gardner posted, “Whether you rely on wayfinding signage, GPS, or instinct to navigate to and through Gardner, we want to hear from you! “ The City of Gardner has been developing a wayfinding study in Downtown Gardner to: establish an inventory of existing signage, ensure signs serve various types of users, identify locations for new signage to better direct visitors to Downtown and nearby destinations, use signage to improve visibility of parking and access to parking, and create a sense of arrival with a distinct sign style that reflects the character of Downtown.

Gardner is asking for your input through a 5 minute online survey CLICK LINK – You’ll tell about your experience when visiting Gardner, your thoughts on the current signs, and other input that will directly inform where new signs should be located and how they might be designed. Survey runs until April 10, 2023 so do it today.

The City will be using this wayfinding plan to develop and fabricate simple signs in the near future as a short-term approach, with the potential of evolving the complexity and detail of the signs in the long-term through a future, more comprehensive community process.
