Towne Square Concept B
As part of our plan to revitalize Oakville’s historic downtown, the town is redesigning Towne Square, a small but unique public space located at 210 Lakeshore Road.
Building on the work done on the downtown streetscape design, a new design for Towne Square will enhance the vibrancy of the neighbourhood and provide more opportunities for public events.
A few things to keep in mind:
- These are just preliminary concepts. They will be refined based on stakeholder and public feedback and will be presented again to the public in early fall.
- If you like some elements from one design, but other elements from another, feel free to take a mix and match approach. Please clearly indicate your preferences in your comments.
- Although not shown in all images, a section of grass can be incorporated into all preliminary design concepts.
- Most of Towne Square is built over an underground parking garage, making it a challenge to plant trees in the space.

The curved water element restricts circulation. Grass is good but should be surrounded by paving

I like this because it has some grass
Grass is critical to whichever design you select.....all are quite nice. All you have to do is be in Towne Square when there are lots of kids under 10 around. They love and need the grass to work off their energy.
