7.0 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS & BRANDING

he Recreational Trails Master Plan (RTMP) recommends Ta network design that considers, among other elements, trail lighting, trail signage, trailheads and trail amenities (seating and rest areas, and bicycle parking), and public art along trails (See Chapter 3.1.2 Contextual Integration). In order to create a destination trail, these elements have been examined to create a consistent theme, or brand for the length of the trail. This section presents the recommended amenity and branding concept for the Mountain Brow Trail.

Route Confirmation & Directional Signs Route confirmation signs will be used along the Mountain Brow to confirm that users are still on the Mountain Brow Trail route. Directional signs can also be applied as needed to provide guidance to access the trail from other cycling routes or intersecting trails. (Exhibits 33 and 34)

Applications on the Mountain Brow Trail

Route confirmation can be placed along the Mountain Brow Trail with consistent spacing of: • 400-800m (urban areas), or • 2 km (rural areas) Directional signs can be provided from other routes as needed. Conceptual route confirmation and trail marker signs for a variety of applications (conventional, naturalized Exhibit 33 - Mountain Brow Signage (Dimensions in millimeters) areas, within roadway boulevard) are shown in Exhibit 33. Conceptual sign assemblies are shown in Exhibit 34. These examples depict (from left to right): • Directional signage indicating access to the Mountain Brow Trail (from another trail or cycling facility) • Signed cycling route that is part of the branded Mountain Brow Trail route • Directional sign where users must make a right turn to stay on the Mountain Brow Trail Exhibit 34 - Conceptual Mountain Brow Route Sign Assemblies

Dashed dividing lines may be applied as needed where path usage is anticipated to be heavy to help control passing. In addition to a coloured centre line, asphalt trail sections can be stamped with the Mountain Brow Trail logo in circular stamp pattern. A sample MBT branded trail application is shown in Exhibit 39.

he recommended Mountain Brow Trail route is over twenty-five T(25) kilometres in length. The feasibility study was spearheaded by the Landscape Architectural Services Section and partnering with Engineering Services at the City of Hamilton in coordination with multiple stakeholders (see Chapter 3.2 Stakeholders and Partnerships). The implementation will be carried out by various City of Hamilton Sections and project budgets and timelines will be assigned through the capital budget process. High-level costing and funding opportunities are provided to guide the budgeting for detailed design and implementation of individual sections of the trail.

9.0 SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS AND NEXT STEPS

he primary purpose of the Mountain Brow Trail Feasibility TStudy is to provide a framework for the reconstruction and renovation of the existing trail segments, the extension of the trail into undeveloped areas, and possible integration with existing and proposed pedestrian and cycling infrastructure along the route. The trail serves to fulfill the Hamilton Recreational Trails Master Plan mandate of creating planned, connected, diverse, inspiring, accessible, safe and sustainable recreational opportunities for all of the City’s residents and visitors. Once complete, the trail will address the needs of users (including accessibility and safety), enhance the Niagara Escarpment while promoting conservation, and support the City’s vision to be the best place for family living.
