The New York State Canal System is a resource of national significance. As a
transportation and commerce corridor the Canal System was extremely impor-
tant to the development of the United States. So great was the prosperity gener-
ated by the Canal System in the mid-nineteenth century that New York became
known as the "Empire State." Forgotten for a great deal of the twentieth centu-
ry, the canals are once again the focus of national and statewide attention. Major
redevelopment efforts such as the Canal Revitalization Program and several
federal initiatives promise to make the Canal System an economic engine for
New York State in the 21st centur y.

  • 5. NEW YORK STATE CANAL SYSTEM SIGNAGE DESIGN GUIDELINES INTRODUCTION New Y State Canals ork The New York State Canal System is a resource of national significance. As a transportation and commerce corridor the Canal System was extremely impor- tant to the development of the United States. So great was the prosperity gener- ated by the Canal System in the mid-nineteenth century that New York became known as the "Empire State." Forgotten for a great deal of the twentieth centu- ry, the canals are once again the focus of national and statewide attention. Major redevelopment efforts such as the Canal Revitalization Program and several federal initiatives promise to make the Canal System an economic engine for New York State in the 21st centur y. Inquiries can be addressed to: As we strive to transform the Canal System into a world class recreation and tourist destination, it is critical that the design guidelines presented in this docu- The Director of Canal ment be used systemwide. These guidelines will help establish a consistent and Operations NYS Canal Corporation high-quality visitor environment along the entire length of the Canal System. 200 Southern Blvd. Albany, NY 12209 The signage design guidelines were developed for use on canal waterfront and trail projects and in canal communities. Each of the many products and tools provided herein has a prescribed use and function. It is important to the success of this program to adhere to all specifications.
