Creating a clearer, more welcoming Telluride—for everyone.
The Town of Telluride is working on a new project to improve signs, maps, and public spaces around town. This project is all about helping people get where they need to go, enjoy where they are, and feel a stronger sense of place while they're here.
What is “Wayfinding”?
Wayfinding means helping people find their way. That includes signs for walking, biking, driving, and parking. It also includes maps, directions, and helpful landmarks. The goal is to make it easier for everyone—residents, workers, and visitors—to move around town.
What is “Placemaking”?
Placemaking is about making our public spaces feel special, helpful, and welcoming. It can include benches, public art, signs that tell stories about our history, and small touches that reflect what makes Telluride unique.
Why Are We Doing This?
Our current signs are outdated and sometimes confusing. Some areas feel hard to navigate or don’t reflect the character of our town. This project will:
Make it easier to find parking, trails, restrooms, and landmarks
Improve signs for accessibility and understanding
Reflect the history, culture, and beauty of Telluride
Help both locals and visitors feel connected to our town
What’s Happening Now?
We are in the early planning phase. This means we’re listening to you—our residents—before making any big decisions. A team of experts is also studying how people move through town, what signs we already have, and where improvements are needed.
How Can You Get Involved?
We want your input! Please share your thoughts on:
Signs that are confusing
Areas where people get lost
Public spaces you love—or want to see improved
Ideas for art, history, or storytelling in town
Timeline
Spring 2024: Community feedback and data collection
Fall 2024: Design concepts and more public input
Winter 2025: Final plan presented to Town Council
Spring 2025: Installation and rollout (phased over five years based on funding)
