Bronte Village Streetscape Study
Planning is underway to enhance the streetscape in the main shopping area of Bronte Village.
Project overview
We’re making Bronte Village a more vibrant place for residents, visitors and businesses. Planning is underway to enhance the streetscape in the main shopping area of Bronte Village. The town has hired a consultant to conduct a public realm study and develop a streetscape plan which will include recommendations for improvements and implementation.
We can’t do it without you! Public engagement opportunities are built into every step of the process. Proposed improvements will be shaped by input from residents, community groups, business owners, developers, Council, town staff and the consulting team.
Public engagement opportunities
There will be many opportunities to share your input on the public realm framework and streetscape concepts.
Four rounds of engagement are planned. Each round will offer different ways to participate, share feedback and raise community awareness.

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.
