<strong>Streetscape</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> is intended to provide a comprehensive<br />

improvement strategy that can be phased.<br />

The Study established an overall “Vision” for each of the<br />

downtown areas, translating the County’s Big Moves to reflect the<br />

unique nature and character of the respective communities.<br />

Building from this Vision, the recommended “Big Moves” for<br />

<strong>Hagersville</strong> in the Study establish the overall foundation from<br />

which the <strong>Hagersville</strong> <strong>Streetscape</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> has been formulated.<br />

VISION FOR HAGERSVILLE<br />

“<strong>Hagersville</strong> boasts businesses and services for all needs. The<br />

local farmer’s market is a popular draw in the County, and is<br />

the hub of downtown on market days. Key downtown<br />

buildings, like the CIBC building, characterize the desired<br />

neighbourly feel of the streets. Streets are green and<br />

welcoming, and clearly connect to the greenway of the old<br />

rail line to the north. Clearly marked crosswalks for<br />

pedestrians and protected laneways support <strong>Hagersville</strong>’s<br />

role as a community for all people.”<br />

Big Move #1:<br />

Build upon the market square as the<br />

heart of the downtown by extending<br />

infrastructure improvements (sidewalks,<br />

streets and street furnishings) to<br />

adjacent users.<br />

Big Move #2:<br />

Create enhanced crosswalks to market<br />

destinations and fill gaps between<br />

destinations.<br />

Big Move #3:<br />

Ensure pedestrian connections between<br />

new developments and the market.<br />

Big Move #4:<br />

Implement strategic green interventions to<br />

provide moments for reprieve and gathering<br />

within the CIPA.<br />
