First Downtown Wayfinding Kiosks Installed

After years of planning and development, wayfinding signs and kiosks are now being placed around Downtown El Paso.
One of the first wayfinding kiosks in Downtown El Paso was installed last week. It includes overhead lighting powered by solar panels. (downtownelpaso.com)

The first phase of the project includes 18 wayfinding kiosks and 28 directional signs attached to existing street light fixtures, according to downtownelpaso.com.

The kiosks are generally four-sided and will come in two sizes, a medium nine-foot tall kiosk, and a larger 12-foot high kiosk that includes overhead lighting powered by solar panels.

The Downtown Management District is managing the project for the City of El Paso.
