Hagersville Streetscape Plan

Building from these key messages, the Streetscape Concept
illustrates and discusses the series of recommended
improvements to the public realm within the overall study area.
It provides specific direction as to recommended improvements
and design details, which will inform the detailed design and
construction process. Six general areas for improvements were
identified: the market square; the King and Main Street
intersection; and the four street sections extending from the
King Street and Main Street intersection. Building from a reconfigured
and re‐purposed market square space, the
Streetscape Concept identifies a series of streetscape
improvements to soften the pedestrian environment along
Downtown Hagersville’s principal streets.
Given the County has budgeted $250,000 for each community
to implement the respective streetscape plans over a five year
period, the Hagersville Streetscape Plan provides a detailed
implementation plan. This budget is intended for implementing
the more substantial projects in order to stimulate the more
minor improvements over time by community partnerships.
The implementation section of the Hagersville Streetscape Plan,
for moving forward with the recommended improvements,
includes:
• Key points for consideration during implementation;
• Design guidance for each of the specific streetscape
elements;
• Prioritization of the various public realm improvements;
• Cost estimates for each of the general areas of the
Streetscape Concept; and
• Other tasks and initiatives to support implementation of
the Streetscape Plan.
The Hagersville Streetscape Plan seeks, over time, to transform
the public realm in Downtown Hagersville to a high quality
space: a space that is comfortable and inviting to pedestrians
with the amenities to accommodate different needs; a space
that is visually interesting and has a clear sense of identity and
space; a space that respects the local historic and contextual
roots of the community; and a space that has the activities and
functions that truly make it the community heart and focal point.
