Fourteen new wayfinding signs went up in downtown this week, directing visitors to businesses, parks and museums, and facilities like government buildings and public restrooms.

The signage will reduce sidewalk congestion by helping pedestrians reach destinations efficiently, City Engineering Project Manager Mark Epstein said, and boost visibility for businesses and attractions.

The signs were designed, built, and installed by Blackmouth Design of Bainbridge Island.

The Bainbridge Island Downtown Association (BIDA) and Bainbridge Island Chamber of Commerce (Chamber) approached the City about improved wayfinding signs in 2019. The City worked through last year with BIDA, the Chamber, and Blackmouth to develop designs and sign locations.

The signs can be found on Winslow Way, Bjune Drive, Olympic Drive, and Harborview Drive.
