Gateway Features<br />
The objective for gateway features in downtown <strong>Hagersville</strong> is to<br />
visually punctuate the key entrances to the area and provide a strong<br />
first impression to visitors. Gateway features should:<br />
a) Be designed in a consistent style and form for all four gateway<br />
locations, with reflection and reference to <strong>Hagersville</strong>’s historic<br />
roots (such as the rail line or the <strong>Plan</strong>k Road).<br />
b) Use high quality, durable, and locally relevant materials for<br />
gateway features that reflect the character of the community,<br />
including stones, brick, and metals.<br />
c) Use simple and universally readable lettering for the signage<br />
component that is not distracted by other information on the<br />
feature.<br />
d) Be accentuated with surrounding planting material that is<br />
native, non‐invasive, low maintenance, salt and/or drought<br />
tolerant and will not inhibit visibility of the feature at growth<br />
maturity.<br />
e) Include lighting opportunities for night‐time accentuation,<br />
particularly considering energy‐efficient fixtures.<br />
f) Be located along the street edge and offset from intersections<br />
to respect daylighting requirements.<br />
