RIVERSIDE COMMONS

OVERVIEW: Riverside Common seeks to complement the character of Elora’s existing community through the preservation of its architectural, cultural, and significant heritage features. The intent of the project has three primary objectives. First, to improve the connectivity across multiple modes by establishing active street and trail linkage. Second, to make the community more accessible and pedestrian-friendly by encouraging built form and streetscaping that is oriented towards the pedestrian realm. Third, to increase its economic vitality with intensified mixed-use and commercial space.
