Wayfinding

Bumping this 2017 article, to ask: has there been any progress on this front? Because I can't think of any.

New wayfinding signs could soon be coming to Ottawa-Gatineau

July 4, 2017

When visitors come to the capital, they expect to be able to walk around and find their way easily.

But right now, a tourism study has found, there’s a gap.

“Wayfinding has been in place, but in sort of a chopped-up manner in Ottawa for a long time,” said Catherine Frechette, senior director of destination development for Ottawa Tourism, explaining the City of Ottawa had its own signs, the National Capital Commission (NCC) had its own signs and Business Improvement Areas (BIAs) had their own signs.

...

A feasibility study is underway and a plan for what the signs could look like and how they could be rolled out and maintained is being developed. The results of both will be presented to both Ottawa and Gatineau councils, and to the NCC, in the fall.

If the idea is approved, it will be piloted next summer.
