RAILWAY CORRIDOR GREENWAY
CLIENT: City of Richmond
LOCATION: Richmond, BC
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT: Hapa Collaborative
SCOPE: Wayfinding design and strategy, signage, interpretive planning
The City of Richmond re-purposed a 3.7 km long stretch of the old Interurban Tram line that ran between 1912 to 1958 from Vancouver to Richmond into a multi-use trail. Our task was to reveal and celebrate the history of the Interurban line in an integrated open space master plan connected to the larger urban trail system.
The wayfinding signage features evocative asphalt paving graphics which re-interpret the historic tram schedule. Marking the old station points, these large format art elements blend ideas of journeys past with contemporary time and place.
