Hagersville Streetscape Plan

) Surface markings that reflect the historic transportation
roots of the community, include the former “Plank Road”
and the rail lines;
c) Curb extensions, where feasible, at the four corners of the
intersection to shorten the pedestrian crossing distance
and visually “tighten” the intersection;
d) Different colour and markings on the surfaces of the
pedestrian crosswalks and the area inside the intersection
to differentiate;
e) Wayfinding signage at the southeast and northwest
corners of the intersection to direct visitors;
f) Façade improvements to the three privately‐owned
buildings framing the intersection, potentially utilizing the
programs in the Haldimand County Downtown Areas
Community Improvement Plan (together with the longterm
consideration of architectural improvements to the
County building’s façade); and
g) Phasing and possibly delaying the improvements until a
direction for a potential Highway No. 6 realignment is
determined (see “Moving Forward” chapter below).
