Derby Downtown Lighting & Signage Plan

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This plan is the result of many hands and heads
working together, and members of the design team
would like to thank the City of Commerce City Planning
and Public Communications staff and the Derby Review
Board for their unwavering support of the project,
insightful project direction, and keen-eyed refinements of
the final plan.
The ideas put forth in this plan would not have been
possible without the inspiring direction of the Derby
community. Business owners to residents to members
of groups with an interest in the Derby District all had
a hand in helping the design team better understand
the character of the District, and what types of lighting,
signage and wayfinding improvements would have
the most lasting value and impact. This plan would
not have been possible without your critical thinking,
generous sharing, and commitment to working alongside
the design team as we developed and vetted the final
design ideas. We are so grateful for your support,
heartfelt input, and time spent helping us see the Derby
District through your eyes. Thank you.
