Our task was to reveal and celebrate the history of the Interurban line in an integrated open space master plan connected to the larger urban trail system.

The wayfinding signage features evocative asphalt paving graphics which re-interpret the historic tram schedule. Marking the old station points, these large format art elements blend ideas of journeys past with contemporary time and place.
