Pleasant Hill Installs New Signage Around Town

PLEASANT HILL, CA -- If you think something has looked a bit different as you've driven around town the past few weeks, you're right.

The City of Pleasant Hill has installed eight new 'Gateway' style signs at major entryways to the city. The signs, which were installed in late December, replaced the old 'Pagoda' style signs that were removed a few months ago.

In addition to the Gateway signs, the city is also is installing 29 ‘wayfinding’ signs at various locations, which will highlight main attractions such as Downtown, City Hall, Pleasant Hill Library, PH Community Center and other key buildings and parks in order to help both residents and visitors navigate to major destinations in the city.

The Gateway and Wayfinding signage was designed over an 18-month period working with WRT, urban design consultants, and Arrow Sign Company. The process included ten public workshops and multiple focus group meetings during which input was solicited from various community members regarding design concepts and locations for the new signs.
