Hagersville Streetscape Plan

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.
Improvements
The recommended improvements to the King Street and Main
Street intersection include the following elements:
a) Distinct surface materials and colouring to differentiate
the intersection and crosswalks from the remainder of the
roadway;
