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 Collage

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 Collage

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

Signage Collage
