Ridgewood Reservoir Signage, Storytelling, and Access Paths

Client: NYC H2O, New York State

Landscape Architectural Design, Wayfinding and Signage Design

Created under Ridgewood Reservoir Design Collective, with Nia Starr, Evan Shieh, Tami Banh

This document, originally created for advocacy purposes for NYC H2O, an organization who are the acting stewards of Ridgewood Reservoir, was used to apply for a state-funded grant under Senator Julia Salazar to be used on public works projects.

The project proposal for access paths and updated signage/wayfinding received the funding and Ridgewood Reservoir Design Collective, in partnership with Dewberry Construction and Urbantech Structural Engineering, were successfully awarded the bid for the project through to construction.

The project is currently awaiting administrative approvals.
