Students offer direction
On foot. By bicycle. In the car.
Whichever way you travel around campus, it’s now a lot easier to navigate courtesy of a major upgrade to the signage and bike trail systems.
After nearly two years of work by design students, faculty and staff, Sac State has about 100 new signs, ranging from large signs for directions to smaller ones to identify buildings.
Students from Sac State’s Department of Design looked at existing signage, studied campus traffic patterns, checked out the signage systems at places like hospitals and shopping malls, and sought input from students and various campus offices such as Public Safety and Services to Students with Disabilities. A campus committee selected the final design plan.
The new signs will be soon visible to bicycle enthusiasts taking advantage of a more comprehensive bike path system that will encircle most of the campus.
An existing bike path is being widened along State University Drive West, and bicycle lane markings and signage will be added along State University Drive South, State University Drive and State University Drive East to improve bike circulation. Additional bike racks and lockers will also be installed.
The $700,000 bicycle project is funded through grants from Caltrans and the federal government.
