STREETSCAPE STRATEGIES

#1: REINFORCE DOWNTOWN STREETS AS THE HISTORIC AND CULTURAL CENTER OF ROCKTON.Evaluate opportunities to balance existing roadway/on-street parking functions with widened sidewalks and active seating/dining areas.

#2: PROMOTE ROCKTON’S IMAGE AND FUNCTION THROUGH SIGNAGECreate a comprehensive signage program that addresses gateway, wayfinding, parking and business directory signage

#3: REINFORCE FESTIVAL SPACESAccommodate a variety of fest types, including large format events at Settlers Park, and smaller format events on Main and/or Hawick Streets.

#4: ENHANCE OFF STREET PARKING AND ALLEYWAY CONNECTIONSImprove off street parking functions and alleyway connectivity through design treatments.

#5: IMPROVE CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN DOWNTOWN AND RIVERFRONTProvide interconnected experiences that draw users between Downtown and Riverfront. Experiential elements may include interconnected pathways, crosswalks, sidewalks, seating/ gathering areas, river overlooks, passive open space, active play and interpretive landscaping.
