Provide maps, kiosks, signage, and other amenities that identify a<br />

place and inform about its signifi cance to the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> region.<br />

Informational and interpretive features<br />

are especially important in proximity to<br />

Project Stars locations, museums, parks<br />

or other venues including water features<br />

such as Lynchburg Ferry. Kiosks should<br />

be constructed of recycled materials (such<br />

as reclaimed waste polymers from the<br />

petrochemical industry), locally produced,<br />

and may incorporate a consistent <strong>design</strong><br />

theme such as the <strong>Texas</strong> star. Maps and<br />

wayfi nding should include a variety of routes<br />

and transportation options for navigating<br />

throughout the <strong>District</strong>. It is recommended<br />

that kiosks and signage for Project Stars and<br />

the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>Texas</strong> <strong>Historic</strong> <strong>District</strong> be<br />

consistent in <strong>design</strong> to the extent possible.<br />
