The Wayfinding and Directional Signage Program creates a coordinated, user-friendly, visible navigation system in the Historic and Convention districts. The Wayfinding Program was finalized in 2009. Since then, there have been significant additions to downtown Savannah. This includes the Enmarket Arena, Plant Riverside, and Eastern Wharf. The City of Savannah is also continuing the work to improve the Canal District and the western end of River St. As a result of this program, all municipal parking garages have been signed with the "P" (parking) icon, the four visitor centers have been branded with the "i" (information) icon, dot stop signs that identify the dot fare-free shuttle stops and the River Street Elevator is easily recognized with a new sign.
The remaining elements of the program are continuing to be implemented in phases, including: district and parking directional trailblazers; pedestrian kiosks, maps and directional signage; River Street monument, elevator and wall mount; vehicular directional signage; and gateways. To date, the following documents have been produced to support the project:
