Belmont's signage and wayfinding system is designed to project a consistent image for the community; improve navigation for all modes of travel; guide visitors to landmarks, facilities, and services; establish appropriately themed entry point and neighborhood identification, promote walking, bicycling and mass transit; and be sustainable as well as expandable.

Main Signage/Wayfinding goals and objectives are:

• To express the characteristics of Belmont through environmental signage/wayfinding graphics and create a consistent system across a range of signage mediums that also directs and orients people to main destinations and unifies and refreshes public signage throughout the city.
• To create a signage and wayfinding system that directs visitors to landmarks & historic resource properties; activity/service centers including, but not limited to: entry points, the BVSP Area, Carlmont Shopping Center, Twin Pines Civic Center, restaurant and retail clusters, parking garages/lots, mass transit, parks/community facilities, residential neighborhoods, and nearby destinations.
• To establish signage and wayfinding links to city bicycle and pedestrian trails.
• To establish an ongoing administration and maintenance plan for the system.
• To evaluate and establish entry point and neighborhood identifications such as entry monuments.
