Downtown Port Colborne Urban Design Strategy

 

 

RICK Consulting in association with GSP Group Inc. prepared a Community Improvement Plan (CIP) for the Olde Sandwich Towne (OST) area of Windsor. The purpose of the CIP was to provide a framework to guide public sector investment and stimulate private sector investment in the OST Community Improvement Project Area. The CIP identified community improvement needs, municipal strategies and actions, incentive programs and an implementation plan. 

GSP prepared Development and Urban Design Guidelines to promote appropriate infill development and to guide detail design for streetscape and public realm improvements.  The guideline included 3-D models prepared to illustrate preferred development scenarios for infill sites and for façade improvements.  Concepts for streetscape and gateway improvements along Sandwich Street were also prepared.

 The CIP was approved by City Council on January 12, 2009.
