spacerThe wayfinding program for downtown Kalamazoo defines six "neighborhoods" within the downtown area and directs people to a specific neighborhood before pointing them to specific destinations.

A symbol was designed and a color assigned for each neighborhood. Symbol characters and sign designs are based on an art deco aesthetic to reflect the city's architecture.

The wayfinding system includes trailblazers leading visitors downtown Kalamazoo from outlying areas, cultural luminaires to provide cultural and historical information, vehicular and pedestrian directional signs and pedestrian maps.
