Strengthening Our Community:
Downtown Public Realm Plan
This project will document, design, and present options for urban design guidelines for public spaces within the urban downtown of Meaford. Design guidelines aim to support community well-being, cultural vitality, and economic opportunity. The guidelines may include concepts related to trees, vegetation and beautification, parking and sidewalk design, traffic calming, and lighting.
These guidelines will direct the evolution of the public realm in downtown Meaford in a way that is consistent with the existing character while evolving to support the community’s vision for the future and historic context. Once adopted, future projects to upgrade or replace municipal infrastructure in the downtown will be based on the design standards.
