Wayfinding Signage Program – Enhancing the Pedestrian Experience
As part of Arlington County’s Wayfinding strategy, the Rosslyn BID serves as a pilot site for the design and implementation of a new County Wayfinding System that will overtime spread to other urban villages throughout Arlington County. For the past few years, the BID, in partnership with Arlington County, has worked with Gensler's Washington DC group to design a wayfinding system that includes 35 pedestrian, directional, and parking signs. The over arching goal has been to make it easier for pedestrians to find their way around all of the terrific spots, historic sites, public art finds and other delights throughout Rosslyn that all contribute to making it one of the hottest spots in the entire Metro region. The signs and their respective locations have been carefully and thoughtfully reviewed by the County. New blue “You Are Here” 
signs already have been installed in front of the Key Bridge Marriott at 1401 Lee Highway; on Meade St., near the Iwo Jima Memorial. There are also new directional signs on North Lynn Street in front of the Waterview building; on Wilson Boulevard at Cupid’s Garden; and on Fort Myer Drive between the Holiday Inn and 1911 North Fort Myer Drive.
Other wayfinding locations include, but not limited to around the following areas:
- Arlington Boulevard and Ft. Myer Drive
- Wilson Boulevard and Ft. Myer Drive
- Ft. Myer Drive and 19th Street
- N. Lynn Street and Lee Highway
- N. Moore and Wilson Blvd
- 19th and N. Kent St.
All of the Pedestrian Wayfinding and Directional Wayfinding signs will be installed at their respective locations by end of summer 2011!
