Changing Dynamics ~ (from final draft plan for Cayuga)

The process of evolution, the mobility of the average resident and visitors, will and continue to change the role and dynamic of Cayuga; creating a different type of economic centre to what has been experienced in the past.  Future area roadway upgrades enhance traffic patterns.  Improvements to the pedestrian realm are a logical extension of community and infrastructure upgrades for the downtown core.

"Unique, Intimate, Inviting"
Three vision principles that form the basis for the streetscape plan improvements;

Unique Community


  • Reinforce the design identity of Cayuga;
  • Reflect natural heritage resources;
  • Create coherence while fostering creativity;
  • Reflect the cultural heritage and value the past history of the Cayuga community; and
  • Reinforce the unique features, views and distinctive urban built form that define the character of the community.
Intimate Community


  • Create streets where people can walk around and see each other face-to-face;
  • Provide accessible public places where people can walk, sit, play, relax, and talk;
  • Enhance public spaces and define them with interesting buildings, art, and greening; and
  • Support a full range of accessible community businesses and services that are vibrant and foster our commercial cores as destinations.
