2. King and Main Intersection Design Focus The King Street and Main Street intersection represents the ‘heart’ of downtown Hagersville, as the key crossroads of the community as the principal routes for traffic arriving in the core. Due the relatively compact size of downtown Hagersville, this intersection is a key point for connecting the four quadrants of the area: north and south along Main Street, and east and west along King Street. Thus, the intersection is a key pedestrian node in the area that warrants particular attention and improvements. The design focus for the King Street and Main Street intersection is to visually and physically define the area as a central focal point in downtown Hagersville as the crossroads that brings visitors to the community. As a key community node, improvements to the intersection are geared towards strengthening the pedestrian orientation of the area, while additionally providing a traffic calming effect. These improvements to the public realm are coupled with improvements to the buildings surrounding the intersection to further strengthen the visual impact of the area.
