Downtown Manhattan Way-Finding Graphics Concept Study Survey

Introduction: The City of Manhattan, Kansas is beginning a planning study that will establish the standards for a way-finding signage system in the Downtown District. The term "way-finding" was coined in 1960 by architect Kevin Lynch, and refers to the combination of signs, maps, and other graphic or audible methods used to convey location and directions to travelers.
