2015 VILLAGE OF ROCKTON RESIDENT SURVEY
Downtown Rockton gets a lot of use and people feel safe here

#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.

COMMITTEE PRIORITIES & IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONSSTREETSCAPE DEVELOPMENT AREA
PROS CONS
M.1Main Street, between Prairie & Green Streets
Highest return on investment for local businesses
Committee identified a preference to develop a complete future project limits of M.1, not a portion thereof
Highest infrastructural cost, greatest disruption to businesses
H.1Hawick Street
Lower infrastructural cost, lesser disruption to businesses
May not directly benefit downtown businesses
Gateway & Wayfinding Signage
Lowest infrastructural cost, relatively high return on investment
Gateway signs may be developed separately from wayfinding signs
