E.5. Kiosk Program<br />

<strong>The</strong> previous sections focused on vehicular<br />

signage; however, once people are out<br />

on foot, a system <strong>of</strong> pedestrian informational<br />

kiosks is desirable for orientation<br />

and to stimulate interest in walking further.<br />

<strong>The</strong> kiosks would display a key map<br />

with various destinations (see list above.)<br />

Kiosk design should be compatible with<br />

the character <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Specific</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>’s commercial<br />

areas.<br />

For planning purposes, the following<br />

locations are recommended for kiosk<br />

locations:<br />

• Downtown commercial area in near<br />

proximity to Hotel Del <strong>Coronado</strong><br />

and/or Adella Plaza<br />

• Rotary Park (after expansion)<br />

• Uptown commercial area near the<br />

Ferry Landing<br />

E.4. Street Signage<br />

A unique street sign should be created<br />

and installed for all street corners within<br />

the <strong>Specific</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> area. This helps create an<br />

identity and sense <strong>of</strong> place that is distinct<br />

from the rest <strong>of</strong> <strong>Coronado</strong>. Figure VIII-7 is<br />

a conceptual design for such signage.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Mission Group prepared a parking<br />

study as part <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Orange</strong> <strong>Avenue</strong> <strong>Corridor</strong><br />

<strong>Specific</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> process. While portions<br />

<strong>of</strong> the study are summarized below, the<br />

full document is available at <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Coronado</strong>’s<br />

Community Development Department.<br />

<strong>The</strong> parking study looked at conditions in<br />

the commercial areas within the <strong>Specific</strong><br />

<strong>Plan</strong> area and some residential blocks<br />

outside <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Specific</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> area, but<br />

adjacent to it. <strong>The</strong> parking study’s area<br />

encompasses <strong>Coronado</strong>’s northern and<br />

southern commercial centers, and<br />

included 20 blocks <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>f-street parking<br />

and 85 block faces <strong>of</strong> on-street parking<br />

(See Figure VIII-8).<br />

For the purposes <strong>of</strong> the study, the larger<br />

area was divided into three sub-areas<br />

(See Figure VIII-9).<br />
