Hagersville Streetscape Plan

Fences and Walls
The objective for fences and walls within downtown Hagersville is to
provide a consistent pattern of decorative features for private
properties that screen views into parking areas and appropriately edge
the streetscape. Fences should:
a) Be implemented at all parking lot locations where space is
permitted to define entranceways;
b) Be constructed of high quality materials such as steel or
composite materials to increase durability and reduce
maintenance requirements;
c) Be implemented in tandem with planting material to provide all
season interest. Breaks within fencing panels should be
provided to incorporate large shrubs or canopy trees to allow
for variety and repletion across parking lot frontages;
d) Be of a consistent design for consistency and cohesiveness
across the downtown area; and
e) Not be higher than 1.20m in height, and provide relief in their
design along public walkways to avoid solid faces and creation
of potential entrapment areas.
Walls should:
a) Not be higher than 450mm in height (walls) along the public
right of way to act as informal seating areas, or greater than
900mm for signage walls to maintain open sight lines for
pedestrians.
b) Be made of high quality materials such as concrete, or precast
units with colour and finish that ties into other paving schemes
and colour palettes used within the public right of way for
consistency and repetition.
c) Be installed at a suitable offset from intersections and public
walkways to allow for unimpeded travel by pedestrians.
