Maps and art along the way: More wayfinding kiosks installed

May 7, 2011 at 11:53 pm | In Transportation, West Seattle news | 6 Comments

So much for “Pothole Drive” – the Beach Drive wayfinding-kiosk shell that briefly held the cardboard guerrilla art/road-conditions commentary has now been completed with its intended display. The photos are courtesy of Chas Redmond, pedestrian advocate (among other roles), long involved with the kiosk project and now reporting five more are in place. Another is across from Admiral Way Viewpoint:

And this one’s along the north end of Lincoln Park:

The other two new kiosks are in Alki and Admiral. Each has two different map views, including a closer look at the area where it’s been placed, along with different art on both sides. This is part of a wayfinding project that’s been in the works more than three years – its first phase was the West Seattle Trails map (here’s an early report from 2008).

  4. I think the “Admiral Way Viewpoint” is in the wrong spot… nobody is going to find it there

  5. It’s actually Belvedere Viewpoint – right where Admiral bends – Admiral Junction also has a kiosk.

  6. I wrote, “ACROSS FROM Admiral Way Viewpoint.” The pre-existing signs in the area point to the area across the street as Admiral Way Viewpoint. Belvidere/Belvedere/I can never keep them straight/ is that lovely grassy area across the street where I imagine the kiosk actually is, but since the photo prominently displays AWV, that’s what I wrote – TR
