Hagersville Streetscape Plan

6. West Streetscape
Design Focus
The west streetscape section is the King Street streetscape
extending westwards from the King and Main intersection. This
section represents the western entrance to the core. Key issues
for the south streetscape section 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 a small number of gaps in the
street edge with buildings set back and front yard parking areas.
The design focus for the west 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 Tuscarora Street; providing
more greenery and plantings to soften the comfort for those
walking along the street; and tying King Street into Main Street as
one approaches the intersection, both physically and visually.
Improvements
The recommended improvements to the west streetscape section
include the following elements:
a) Public street tree plantings along both sides of King Street
between Tuscarora/John Street and Main Street;
b) Plantings along the edges of the municipal parking lot at
the corner of Tuscarora/John Street and King Street;
c) Addition of pedestrian amenities along the streetscape,
including decorative light standards, garbage receptacles,
