Future phases, not time specific
Three additional projects should be incorporated into
the Wayfinding Blueprint:
Project 5: Public Transport Information
The project has integrated public transport information
as much as possible throughout its development,
including the Bournemouth Connections Map, bus,
coach and taxi totems and stops, and mapping insets
for bus network diagrams.
Two projects started during this Wayfinding Project
– Local Sustainable Transport Fund and Better Bus
Fund – will significantly affect the future of public
transport information. These projects must form a
central part of future wayfinding initiatives and be fully
integrated into this system.
Project 6: Public Arts
Good and relevant public art acts as a mnemonic and
helps create a sense of place. Once seen it is not easily
forgotten. The Bournemouth wayfinding project should
integrate with public arts. The use of an icon or
character that can be repeated throughout the town
would greatly aid wayfinding, create a sense of fun and
put Bournemouth on the map.
Project 7: Street Nameplates
Street name plates in Bournemouth are inconsistent
and in various states of disrepair. These should be
overhauled across the Town Centre and the
surrounding areas.
