Hagersville Streetscape Plan

5. East Streetscape
Design Focus
The east streetscape section is King Street extending eastwards
from the King and Main intersection. This section represents the
eastern entrance to the core. Key issues for the south streetscape
include the general absence of streetscape and pedestrian
amenities; heavy volumes of traffic, although relatively lighter
than Main Street; tight width of sidewalks and boulevards; and
some gaps in the street edge with buildings set back and front
yard parking areas.
The design focus for the east streetscape section is to strengthen
and soften the pedestrian and visual environment along this
portion of the north‐south spine through the downtown. This
includes strengthening the entrance at Alma Street; providing
more green to soften the comfort for those walking along the
street; accentuating the interface of King Street with the market
square; and tying King Street into Main Street as one approached
the intersection, both physically and visually.
Improvements
The recommended improvements to the south streetscape
section include the following elements:
a) Public street tree plantings on the northern side of King
Street between Main Street and Alma Street;
b) Public street tree plantings on the southern side of King
Street surrounding the Alma Street South intersection;
c) Addition of pedestrian amenities along the streetscape,
including decorative light standards, garbage receptacles,
