corridors and gateways identified in the 2009 Master Plan to confirm what should be addressed. • Develop conceptual plans. • For gateways: Evaluate each type in the hierarchy given the scale and attributes of each location and the purpose of each type. The conceptual plans should address the design of features (form and scale), types of materials, and the incorporation of signage, if appropriate. Such concepts can provide a basis for rough cost estimates required to determine a feasible approach to implementation. • For corridors: Prepare conceptual plans to define the typical cross-section for
each type and the associated streetscape standards. A segment-by-segment inventory should identify the improvements required to upgrade the corridors to meet the standards established. The recommended improvements can provide a basis for rough cost estimates required to determine a feasible approach to implementation. • Prioritize the corridor and gateway improvements based on feasibility and potential impact. The prioritization will help the City construct a phasing and funding strategy.
While helping visitors navigate around the City, branded wayfinding designed for Sumter, SC also serves as a unifying design element across all public spaces in the City.
