Join us at a Public Information Centre for the Cycling Wayfinding and Signage Strategy

Whitby, Ontario – The Regional Municipality of Durham is making it easier to navigate Durham Region on your bike with the development of a Cycling Wayfinding and Signage Strategy. This initiative will create new visually consistent signs to help residents and visitors navigate the cycling network. The Region is holding a virtual Public Information Centre (PIC) for the new Cycling Wayfinding and Signage Strategy. The goal of this project is to provide users of all ages and abilities with a well-designed, intuitive and organized wayfinding and signage system. This signage system aims to help make it easier for residents and visitors to navigate and interpret the Region’s Primary Cycling Network (PCN). The signage system will make it easier to connect to key destinations by providing consistent signage to encourage safe and comfortable use of the cycling network by users of all ages and abilities.

When: September 20, from 6 to 8 p.m.
