The City of Kingston’s Wayfinding Signage Project began mobilization in April 2026.
The new Wayfinding Signage system will help people find their way through Kingston, to sights and landmarks, and encourage visitors to discover unique destinations. The gateway signs will welcome travelers from outside the City limits into Kingston, and into the three distinct business districts, while the directional signs will point to community assets and parking throughout the City.
The Wayfinding Signage Project consists of 18 gateway signs, which will be placed at the entry points to the City of Kingston and into Uptown, Midtown and the Waterfront, including a large Kingston sign in the roundabout at I-587 and Albany Avenue. In addition, 22 directional signs will list points of interest throughout the neighborhoods.
Project construction will begin with excavation for the signposts in 40 locations across the City. Very little of the construction work will cause temporary disruption to traffic, except for the gateway sign at the Albany Avenue/Broadway/I-587 Roundabout, and the Waterfront gateway sign at Broadway and Garraghan Drive. Timing for these installations will be announced closer to construction.
Forge Signworks, LLC was contracted for sign fabrication and installation.
The Ulster County Transportation Council contracted with MERJE, a nationally recognized design firm with specific expertise in Community Wayfinding, to design the system. Funding for fabrication and installation came from the City of Kingston’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding.
