RE: Bike Parking Signage
Residents and visitors take advantage of the Fox River Trail which runs through East Dundee’s downtown. It has
been noted that visitors who drive to the trail frequently park along River Street, which may make parking for local
businesses more difficult. To help alleviate street parking in the downtown, staff was tasked with directing all-day
bicycle parking to a less trafficked area.
Staff recommends the selection of the parking lot between Hill and Railroad to help direct bicycle and all-day
parking. The parking lot has ample space and is located conveniently next to the Fox River Trail. To help direct
visitors to this lot, signage is needed. Staff has been working with Meyer Signs, who produced the Village’s large
logo sign on the west side of the Depot, to help execute this project. Meyer Signs created four branded signs, two
are directional, to be posted throughout the downtown in desired locations for traffic flow. Please refer to the map
on the following page for the location of each sign and the attached Street View Locations PDF. Please note, staff
is exploring the best sign placement options for Barrington going west and River and Railroad going south.
Quantity: 3 Quantity: 3 Quantity: 2 Quantity: 4
The two directional signs will help direct moving traffic to the parking lot and the remaining two signs will be
placed at each entrance of the Caboose parking lot, as well as two additional signs for the other two municipal
parking lots.

Existing Signage Update-Option 1 Remove the current triangle structure from existing sign. Repaint the structure in black and white, following the model. Replace existing village lettering with three- dimensional stand off letterforms (using the same font from the new logo). Back-lighting recommended for improved legibility at night. See page 3 for examples of dimensional and backlit letters.

New Signage Concept 1
The lettering would be cut out of a black, metal sheet which would be attached to a white structure. A backlight could be added so the village name glows at
night. This concept could re-purpose the brick base from the existing structure with the new signage affixed on top of the brick base. See page 5 for cut metal
and backlit examples.Signage Examples for Concept 1

Simple, clean and modern with a black and white color scheme. This concepts uses simplified elements from the logo and breaks from the round shape for a
simple, yet impactful and bold statement. The brick base from the existing structure could be re-purposed with the new signage affixed on top of the brick base.

New Signage Concept 3
Simple, clean and modern with a black and white color scheme. This concepts uses simplified elements from the logo for a simple, yet impactful and bold statement. The
black element sandwiched between the two sides would be cut asymmetrically to resemble the wave shape from the logo. The brick base from the existing structure could
be re-purposed with the new signage affixed on top of the brick base. The lettering would be dimensional and back-lighting recommended for improved legibility at night.

Memorandum To: Erika Storlie, Village Administrator From: Phil Cotter, Director of Public Works Subject: Discussion of Improvements to the Depot/Downtown Area Date: March 7, 2022 ______________________________________________ With a desire to beautify and enhance the enjoyment of the Depot and downtown area, Staff presents several proposed improvements for discussion at Monday’s General Village Committee meeting. These proposed improvements include the purchase and installation of concrete planters and benches, the replacement of the two outdoor drinking fountains (humans and pets) at the Depot, and replacement of the gravel area located on the north side of the Depot with block pavers. Staff would ideally like to pursue these improvements ahead of the upcoming spring/summer and special event season. Planters: Staff proposes the purchase 10 concrete planters to be placed along Barrington Avenue and Railroad Street. Reference the map below for more specific locations (blue dots). Pricing was solicited for the following three options. Round Planter: 48” D x 30” H LaSalle Planter: 36” D x 30” H Price: $855.00 each Price: $657.00 each
Radius Bottom Planter: 48” D x 30” H
Price: $876.00 each
Additional planter options can be found on this website:

Benches:
Staff proposes to purchase 3
bench/planters for the parkway between
the Depot lawn and River Street. The three
locations are indicated by the green dots in
the map below. Pricing was solicited for this
option.
Contemporary Bench/Planter:
48” L x 30” H
Price: $765.00 each
Staff proposes the French Gray finish for the
planters and bench/planters. Reference the finish
options chart.

Pavers:
Staff proposes to install block pavers in the area on
the north side of the Depot (reference orange circle
in map above) – replacing the gravel that routinely
collects discarded trash, grows weeds, and requires
weekly maintenance and upkeep. The estimated cost
for a paver project +/- $20,000. The new block pavers
would match the block pavers currently in the area
outside the main entrance of the Depot.
3|PageDrinking Fountains:
Staff proposes to replace the two existing drinking fountains
(reference photo) with a bottle filling station/drinking
fountain unit and pet fountain. Below are examples of what
staff is proposing to purchase. Formal pricing for the two
fountains has been requested but not yet received. A quick
internet search indicates that pricing for both could be in the
vicinity of $4,500.
