LIGHTING & WAYFINDING Vibrant places attract residents and visitors who will support cultural and recreational activities, patronize businesses, and attend special events. As east Sunrise becomes a place more people want to spend time, some of those people will be visitors not familiar with the area, and many of them will visit at night. Additionally, area residents will want to walk and stroll more in the evenings as exciting new businesses, events, recreational programs, and cultural opportunities increase. To make these visits and walking experiences more enjoyable, special attention is needed to create or enhance different kinds of lighting. Also, a system of signage and icons will help visitors more easily find their way to and from east Sunrise. As described in the recommendations for each district, lighting investments will need to be made by both public and private entities, and some new regulations will be needed. The City will need to drive the development of a wayfinding system for east Sunrise that is part of a larger system for the entire City. As suggested in the sections for each district, those signs and icons will need adequate lighting, so visitors can comfortably find their way after dark.
