Sunset Celebration at Mallory Square
A Community Vision Plan
Mission
City of Key West is embarking on a Community Vision Plan for Sunset Celebration at Mallory Square
The City is asking the community to participate with input on: seating, shading, signage, lighting, landscaping, future uses, and refurbishments. The City is asking for public input and ideas through community meetings, surveys, and charrettes. What does your Sunset Celebration look like?
Seating
Seating is an invitation for people to stay and enjoy their public environment; the weather, the views, the people, the happenings. The City aims to create more and better seating opportunities by looking at the following options:
Park Benches
Tables with Umbrellas
Moveable chairs
Landscaped berms
Seating Incorporated with Landscape/Hardscape
Shading
Shading is an anchor, it keeps people cool, refreshed, and comfortable even in Key West's hottest days of summer. The City is reviewing all possible options to increase the shading at Mallory Square, including:
Shade Trees/Landscaping
Sunshades / Shade Sails
Pavilions
Sculptural Shade Structures
Lighting
Lighting invokes feeling, promotes safety, and encourages social behavior. The City is hoping to get comments on how to use light to create a sense of space, invite residents and tourists to come to the Historic Pier at all times of the day, and stay a while by utilizing:
String lighting
Streetlamps
Landscape Lighting
Ground Lighting
Lighting under docks, bridges, or underwater
Signage
Signage attracts, invokes a theme, creates anticipation, and transports you to a destination. Signage needs to be seen, whether it is on the ground, at eye level, in the sky, etc. The City hopes to add signage around the area to create a space, tell a story, and convey a message. The City wants the public's opinion on:
Banners
Archways
Directory Signage
Floor Signage
Wayfinding Signage
