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.

More grass and less concrete. Lots of larger trees (in pots if necessary) for shade. Clock must remain. Plenty of benches. Ice rink .
There should be ramps and few stairs. This area should keep a small town gathering place feel. The oval water feature on the east wall is enough. Lots of trees with benches under the. Room for a tree at Christmas and the lighting ceremony. Plenty of grass to have a park like setting.

Concept B is the most user friendly of the designs but still needs improvement. It needs as much grass space as possible.
Less concrete, more grass, more benches! The parking garage shouldn't be so prominent and it's design should also be in keeping with the historical charm of Oakville. The clock must remain as well. The water feature is taking up too much valuable people space.
