Hagersville Streetscape Plan

Public Workshop
The project team together with Haldimand County staff organized
a public workshop on October 7, 2010 at the Hagersville
Community Centre for consultation with the community. The
overall purpose of the public workshop was to present the
project team’s general observations of downtown Hagersville, to
receive input from residents and business owners regarding the
existing physical conditions of the area, specific desired
improvements to the area, and priorities and importance of these
improvements.
The public workshop started with a walking tour of the study area
with participants, in order to generate ideas and discussion “on
the ground” within the study area. The walking tour was followed
by a brief presentation by the project team, which introduced the
intent and process of the Hagersville Streetscape Plan and
identified some general improvement ideas for consideration.
Working group sessions followed the presentation, where
participants were able to express and discuss their thoughts and
ideas for key needs and improvements for the area. These
sessions were wrapped up with a summary of the night’s key
ideas and observations, and the following steps in the process.
The key messages generated at the public workshop, which form
a significant part of the basis for the Hagersville Streetscape Plan,
are summarized in the following section.
