Streetscape Enhancement
Guidelines
The Washington Township Streetscape Enhancement Guidelines are recommendations to help unify and maintain the Township's aesthetics and community identity. These guidelines will be utilized by the Washington Township staff for public projects and are also available to interested developers and residents.
These guidelines were developed by Kinzelman Kline architects who have extensive experience in landscaping architecture and planning of streetscapes. They worked closely with the Visual Improvement Committee and township staff on a comprehensive analysis of the township's streetscape corridors, intersections and individual gateway entry sites.
If
you are interested in learning more about the
guidelines, standards and recommendations, contact
Dave
Douglas, Township Zoning Inspector.
| Gateway Signs |
| Consideration of gateways, entries and edges of Washington Township is extremely important due to their capacity to leave a first and lasting impression. While each location is different in terms of prominence, visibility and site conditions, all of the gateways should appear as if they were conceived as a cohesive grouping of entries with common characteristics. These designs should include similar signage, plantings, lighting and hardscape materials. The signs shown below are possible variations to be located at major entrances into the township. |

| Typical Intersection Improvement | |
| The intent of the intersection improvements is to provide a more aesthetically pleasing intersection and improve the safety of pedestrians and drivers. The plan demonstrates how much the typical intersection clutter can be reduced. Street names shall be hung from these mast arms as well to aid in visual recognition of the crossing streets. | |

Bus Stop Enhancement The installation of bus stop enhancements along the corridor will provide safe and convenient pedestrian access to the stops.
