25 Vision Statement resulting from public outreach: Design that is both sustainable and timeless by incorporating materials and design features that are complementary to existing context of nearby downtown Puyallup. The community s prefers a natural color palette with earth tones. The pedestrian experience should be enhanced to create a welcoming environment for transit users and local pedestrians. 10/15/

26 Vision Statement resulting from public outreach: Clear wayfinding and accessibility are also important features Warm, subtle nighttime lighting is preferred to bold, dramatic or colored lighting. The pedestrian bridge over 5th St NW could have a distinguishing feature in the guardrail screening or glazing. The bridge may contain a visually striking element or lighting feature at the elevator tower east of 5th St NW that acts as a beacon or wayfinding feature for pedestrians. 10/15/
