Bradley Road entrance signage (part 1)

Below are pictures of the Bradley Road entrance signage at our Trout Brook Valley preserve. The ALT Land Management committee would like to make improvements to this signage. Please review below considerations and pictures and post your comments. You can click on the picture to enlarge.

--Install emergency access sign on cable to access road
--Redo/reposition hunting signs
--"Remain on trails" message is important to communicate
--Need entrance sign to trail head, so people know where to enter – we need to direct flow to trail entrance
--Do we need signage on berm regarding trout stream and Great Blue Heron, so dogs don’t disturb (picture of berm is not below)?
--Relocate trail maps/box to preserve entrance
--We need a message to bike riders about biking on bike trails only
--You are here signs (in certain preserve locations)


Current trail map box (located in interior, not entrance)



First things you see as you enter parking area.

I think the hunting signs are ok.
Where do we need more "You are here " signs? I can put them up but I'll need more frames. I only have one left.
Why do we need an entrance sign to trail head? If one walks out of the parking lot past the kiosk, you are on the white trail.
Yes to all the others.
Also, the signs on the berm should be permanently attached. Each time I've gone to TBV in Dec. & Jan. save one I've found the signs on the ground. I don't if it was wind or disgruntled dog owners.
Similar signs are needed at the fish ladder.
I would like to see a dogs on leash sign IN the parking lot in addition to the one at the driveway entrance.
Two signs on the white & red trails approaching the parking lot saying "Beyond this point dogs MUST be on a leash" are also needed.
