Kerr Village Streetscape Study
Planning is underway to enhance the streetscape in the main shopping area of Kerr Village.
Project overview
We’re making Kerr Village a more vibrant place for residents, visitors and businesses. Planning is well underway to enhance the streetscape in the main shopping area of Kerr 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.
The proposed improvements were shaped by input from residents, community groups, business owners, developers, Council, Town staff and the consulting team.

Project details
Public realm refers to publicly accessible and highly visible spaces located along our streets, boulevards, pedestrian ways, parks, plazas and the interface with buildings.
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, patrons, cyclists 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.
