We are providing shared use sidewalks that are 8ft wide to meet this credit. However, the signage requirement has been a discussion we consistently return to. We are concerned that mounted signage might be easily destroyed during winter plowing. Are pavement markings in lieu of mounted signage acceptable to meet the intent of this credit? If so, what size and spacing were used to achieve it?

Anne, I would recommend having redundancy in the signage, as this will help ensure that the intent of the LEED credit will endure over the longer term. There is the possibility that mounted signage would be destroyed, and the certainty that pavement markings will wear out. Will they be repainted with the same intent? I would recommend making reasonable accommodation to provide mounted signage, while also relying on pavement marking. LEED does not provide specific recommendations as to size and spacing—I would look around for best recommended practices.
