i) Design integration with other nearby green space.

The Task Force specifically charged 3 with addressing linkagesbetween Central Park and existing parks in the East Isthmus area. Theirreport contains many recommendations and design elements for linkingthese public spaces along existing bicycle paths and the Yahara River

Parkway. Additionally, 3 designed streetscape improvements toenhance connections between Orton and Central Park along Few Street.The Task Force emphasizes how such a green web enhances the city,and recognizes the efficiencies realized by linking Tenney, Olbrich,James Madison, Central, Orton, Turville Conservancy and Olin Parksvia alternative transportation corridors. For example, the proximity ofexcellent ice-skating facilities at Tenney obviates the need to provideduplicate rinks at Central Park.

PHASING

This plan does provide for a phased implementation approach. Details on how thephasing occurs can be found on pages 50-54.

The overall estimated budget of $18.3 million, not including acquisitions, will


62/130

27

g $ , g q ,necessitate phasing to not only respond to available funds but also provide anopportunity for certain aspects of the Park to emerge as funding and timing are

more conducive to that particular park element. The estimated budget detail maybe found on pages 59-62.

It was not the intention of this plan to program every detail of the Park, but ratherprovide an over-arching conceptual framework that will be molded and refinedover time. Parks that can evolve over time are parks that maintain their vitality andare cherished by their users.

This plan profices the framework to get the Park established and then, provides a

canvas upon which future generations of users can leave their mark.

Pedestrian Directional Signage Pedestrian directional signage is a crucialelement, not only to ensure a well-navigated pedestrian experience, but alsoto create a sense of place. A consistent, pedestrian-scaled and easy-to-readsignage system is proposed for the Central Park District.

The proposed locations are at critical decision-making locations. Major decisionpoints for pedestrians are at parking areas and key intersections. Once a visitorhas parked, they immediately want to know how to get to their destination. At these

important locations, such as East Washington Avenue and Baldwin Street, there will

G. ACCESSIBILITY STRATEGIES

The accessibility aspect of the plan emphasizes the need to upgrade the sidewalksystem in the downtown to meet the national standards wherever possible. TheCity of Madison Engineering Division may wish to prepare a map indicating thelocations in the city where the sidewalks, crosswalks, and ADA ramps do not meetcurrent codes and should be upgraded. The City has an excellent ongoing programfor the upgrades of these inadequate locations. As part of the pedestrian planning

process, it is important that a set of sidewalk design guidelines be prepared that

p , g ,be informational kiosks that map the downtown and provide clear directions to themajor facilities and districts in the downtown.

The other key pedestrian points will be at major intersections. Directional signagewill be located at the major intersections to point out landmarks. Finally, there willbe directional and informational kiosks located in the major pedestrian plazas toprovide overviews of the city and directional information and graphics.

Drivers Directional Signage The City of Madison has an existing system ofwayfinding directional signage for visitors entering and navigating our complexcity street system. This wayfinding system should be expanded to ensure easynavigation in the Central Park District for bikers and pedestrians as well. Thisexpanded directional signage is proposed at major road intersections and at keylinkages in the system. The signage will also help the visitors to find their way to themajor public attractions and facilities in the Isthmus area.

p , p g g p pare compatible with the aesthetic streetscape design themes. With the designguidelines in place, accessibility and aesthetic considerations can be met on futureroad construction projects.
