CENTER CITY TRAIL SYSTEM & AFRICAN
AMERICAN HERITAGE TRAIL
WAYFINDING PLAN
A wayfinding system for the Center City Parks and

Trails System and the African American Heritage Trail
in the city of Fayetteville.
The purpose of this document is to expand upon the wayfinding
recommendations in the previous Center City Parks & Trails Plan. This
includes a graphic trail system map, expanded trail medallions, defined
signage types and location standards, and an updated signage map.

SIMPLIFIED SYSTEM MAP

In an effort to create a simplified trail map
that would be easily digestible, the system
map for the trail system was expanded to
include future trails and potential connectors.
The connectors are often where existing
pedestrian facilities are already present.
Ideally, these connectors would need to
be evaluated for ADA accessibility and the
presence of sidewalk gaps, and ultimately
need minor updates in addition to added
signage. This could be included on larger
monument signs or informational signs. The
colors of the route lines match the color of
the medallions for that route, and would
carry forward in all applicable signage.

Red, yellow, and orange medallions bear a redesigned
logo for the African American Heritage Trail. The

planned or proposed.

MEDALLION SYMBOLOGY
Trails should be given unique icons to
further differentiate them from each
other. The Cross Creek Linear park leaf
symbol was pulled from the existing
signage, and the Murchison Road Trail
uses Fayetteville State’s iconic bronco
symbol (though in purple instead of the university
signature blue to avoid confusion with the creek
trails). Trails and greenways along creeks and rivers
typically use a blue, save for the bright green in the
Cape Fear River Trail heron icon.
New symbols were derived using inspiration from
regional flora and fauna, or attributes and features of
the parks. Piedmont azalea, water oaks, and chorus
frogs were used as proposed symbols for Big Cross
Creek, Blounts Creek, and Little Cross Creek greenways.
A skate board icon was used for Rowan Skate Park and
a pier over water was used for Mazarick Park, which
features Glenville Lake. A new logo for the African
American Heritage Trail was generated to mesh with
icons while incorporating the letters of the AAHT
acronym, breaking from the sole usage of images and
icons in the other medallions. All stops, trails, and
connectors for the African American Heritage Trail
will use the same symbol, but will be in different
warm colors.

DIRECTIONAL SIGNAGE
Directional signs would be double sided and either placed on an standard sign post or on a
streetlight. The top of the sign would be a color block featuring the logo of the trail. Below this
block, the nearest destinations or trail heads to that point would be listed with arrows indicating
direction heading. Destinations should be listed by distance with nearest locations listed first.
These are intended to be double sided to accurately direct visitors to their desired destination
from either direction. Destinations would be shown in white. Trails would include their

14 Center City Trail System & African American Heritage Trail: Signage Types
CONFIRMATION SIGNAGE
Confirmation signs are intended to assure users that they are on the
correct trail and should be found in proximity to a trail entrance or a trail
junction. These should not be in proximity to other signs that reference
the trail to prevent redundancy, but instead placed along long stretches
between destinations and trail crossings. A spacing of 200' to 528', or
one tenth of a mile, between wayfinding signs is recommended.
Three sign types are categorized as conformational signage: post signs,
pavement medallions, and mile markers
Post Signs
Post signs are simple posts with the medallion placed on top, and
viewable from front and back. These are typically used in park,
greenway, and nature trail settings. The height of these signs are based
on the landscaping and visibility along the trail at that specific locations.
For areas with little no underbrush or shrub plantings, a shorter 42”
(3.5’) is suggested. For areas with significant underbrush and shrub
planting, or high non-motorized traffic, a 7 to 8 foot tall post can be
used. Post signs should be located off of the trail, and at sharp curves
in the trail, the sign should be on the outside edge of bends.
Directional Medallions Pavement Medallions

Pavement markings can be used on paved
trails, sidewalks, asphalt, and cement. These
include street crossing treatments and can
include some directionality if placed near
a turn in the path or to reassure users to
continue forward. Arrows are incorporated
to show directionality on city streets or
sidewalks, but the standard medallion can be
used on off road trails. These need to applied
in a durable format or with a sealant to
withstand regular foot traffic and all weather
conditions.

Crosswalks
When trails meet roadway intersections, decorative Bike Lane Crossing Brick Paved Crossing
crosswalks can be used to mark trail continuation, advertise
the trail system, and incorporate art into the streetscape.
These crosswalks can be installed as a painted stamp or a
thermoplast design on a brick, ladder, or decorative crosswalk.
Similarly, they could be incorporated into bike lane crossings.
One way to encourage community involvement and boost
community pride is to work with local artists, property owners, Ladder Style Pedestrian Crossings
or organizations to design more creative crosswalk designs
for specific locations. Groups can also partner to paint the
crossings as a community activity. Crosswalks on the African
American Heritage Trails would be excellent candidates for
themed art that celebrates African American art and culture.
Crosswalk Concepts for the African American Heritage Trail
CROSSWALK ART PRECEDENTS:
The City of Durham has a vibrant public arts program, which includes several ground plane murals on streets and in intersections
in and around Downtown Durham. Two projects of note are "Snapping!, Crackling!, Popping!," and "Our Oasis," completed in
2019 and 2021 respectively.
"Snapping!, Crackling!, Popping!," Are a set of three vibrant mid-block crossings near some of the biggest foot traffic generators
in the city. Artist Mary Carter Taub created these Art-Deco designs that were professionally applied with specialized resin with
non-skid aggregate incorporated in eight bright colors. They are located at Durham Central Park and the Farmers' Market on
Foster Street (pictured below), between the Durham Armory and the Convention Center on Foster Street, and across Blackwell/
Vivian Street to connect the American Tobacco Campus with the Durham Bulls Stadium and Durham Performing Arts Center.
As part of the Bloomberg Philanthropies' Asphalt Art Initiative grant program, the City of Durham received $25,000 to use art
and design to improve street safety. The grant monies were used collaboratively by the Durham Transportation Department,
Cultural and Public Art Program, and the Durham Parks Foundation for what became the Club Crossing project. The West Club
Boulevard and Glendale Avenue intersection was site selected. Local artists submitted designs and the community voted on a
concept. The winning artist, Candy Carver, then worked with the community to refine the design. It was then painted by a group
of volunteers led by the artist .

Mile Marker Signage
Mile marker signs can be designed as detailed
or simple. Detailed mile marker signs show
the entire trail and destinations along the
trail, including where other trails connect.
The only icons used are at the end points of
the trail. The colors used correspond to the
trail system. Simple mile markers would be
utilized on more naturalized trails, or trails
in parks or along creeks with not as many Detailed

signs are not about the trail or parks system,
but are a visual education device designed to Interpretive
