Prairie Pathways Interpretive Signage

Black Hawk County, Iowa

RITLAND+KUIPER Landscape Architects was hired by INRCOG to guide the coordination and implementation of this complex and intricate Prairie Pathways interpretive signage network. This multi-jurisdictional project provides trail users the ability to learn about the history of the Cedar Valley through dozens of panels and kiosks along the Black Hawk County metropolitan trail system. Each panel depicts the area’s natural and human history with pictures and stories. Map panels and place making signage were included in the project to provide wayfinding throughout the trail network. RKLA created the construction documents and led the project through an Iowa DOT letting and construction process including the coordination of signage installations on 75 different sites, and has since expanded this network of signage in subsequent projects throughout the Cedar Valley.
