Bronte Village Streetscape Study

Planning is underway to enhance the streetscape in the main shopping area of Bronte Village.

Project overview

We’re working to make Bronte Village a more vibrant place for residents, visitors and businesses. Planning is well underway to enhance the streetscape in the main shopping area of Bronte Village. The consulting team has completed a public realm study and are developing a streetscape plan which will include recommendations for improvements and their implementation.

We can’t do it without you! Public engagement opportunities are built into every step of the process. Two sets of open houses were completed in 2024 and the final open house is scheduled for June 25, 2025. 

Proposed improvements will continue to be shaped by input from residents, community groups, business owners, developers, Council, town staff and the consulting team.

Project components

Public realm refers to publicly accessible and highly visible spaces located along our streets, pedestrian ways, parks and urban squares.

The public realm study will identify existing amenities and opportunities for physical improvements to enhance the spaces and connections between the traditional commercial main street and surrounding community.

Streetscape refers to the physical environment of a street. This includes its visual character and how the space is used by pedestrians, cyclists, transit riders and motorists. 

The streetscape concept plans (design and layout) will include street trees and other landscape materials, special paving, lighting, street furniture, public art and wayfinding.
