RIVERSIDE COMMONS

OVERVIEW: Riverside Common aims to complement the character of Elora’s existing community by preserving its architectural, cultural, and significant heritage features. The project has three primary objectives:

1. Connectivity: Establishing active street and trail linkages to improve connectivity across multiple modes of transportation.
2. Pedestrian Accessibility: Enhancing the community’s accessibility and pedestrian-friendliness by promoting built form and streetscape elements oriented towards the pedestrian realm.
3. Economic Vitality: Boosting the local economy with the inclusion of intensified mixed-use and commercial spaces.

The Site Plan was initially designed by my group member Jon but was remodeled in Illustrator by me.
