Hagersville Streetscape Plan

Existing Conditions
Big Move #1
Build upon the market square as the heart of the downtown by
extending infrastructure improvements (sidewalks, streets and
street furnishings) to adjacent users.
Impressions of Big Move #1:
o Activity: a significant, vibrant and centrally located space
draw during market hours; minimal use and function, other
than a surface parking lot, outside of market hours.

Visibility: poor visual connectivity between market square
and the surrounding public streets (especially Main Street).
Presence: lack of defining feature or signage identifying the
presence of the market square.
Interface: poor interface with surrounding buildings internal
to market square (garbage areas, loading areas, storage, rear
facades, etc).
Circulation: no defined pedestrian circulation routes through
space and potential pedestrian/vehicle conflicts.
Landmark: clock tower as a landmark piece in the downtown
area and a building block to build on.
Comfort: little in the way of amenities (such as benches,
plantings, public art) to create a comfortable space.
