Draft Vision Statement
“! Prudhommes will be a diverse, walkable mixed
use waterfront neighbourhood – adding a
unique destination to Niagara Region. It will
leverage and connect all that Twenty Valley has
to offer. It will demonstrate the best practices in
community building – socially, economically
and environmentally.

!Key elements of great waterfront
districts:
Tranquil place to unwind
Strong heritage/cultural character
Links to and preservation of natural heritage
Shopping and dining options
Active transportation infrastructure
Connected
Fully public and accessible waterfront
High quality greenspaces
Low-scale built formConcept 1: Central Park

2. Waterfront drive!
3. Large central open space!
4. Radiating pattern of streets!
5. Mixed-use development is
located along the North Service Road
and along the main street and the
waterfront drive adjacent to the park !
6. Taller buildings are located on the
eastern portion of the site and along a
road that parallels the North Service
Road !Concept 1: Central Park
I Like… I Don’t Like…
1. Central Park and large amount of 1. Connection to Victoria Shores
green space
(should be kept separate)
2. Height of buildings
2. 6-10 storeys
3. Minimizing density when possible
3. Too much commercial/retail
4. Maintained public access to lakefront
4. No public transportation
5. Good flow for traffic to service road
5. Lack of parking
6. Creating interest
6. Banality. Look to the past,
Prudhommes was vibrant and
7. Great use of lake, views - walking attracted tourists. Who is the
trails and boardwalk
focus client for this vision?
8. Boat tour dock service to connect
Niagara-on-the-Lake and Jordan
Harbour
9. Architectural uniqueness, “seaside
look”Concept 2: Linear Parks
1. New local road connection!
2. Series of linear parks!
3. Adjacent streets provide
addresses for buildings that front
green space !
!
4. Higher density buildings are
located in the centre and on the
east half of the site !
!
5. Mixed-use development is
focused on the North Service
Road and along the waterfront

7. What happens with unassigned/null
space?Recurring Themes 1. Continuous public access to the waterfront is critical, facilitated by a waterfront boardwalk or trail 2. Prioritize the use of active transportation 3. Future development should meet a high architectural standard and ensure that adequate transition zones are in place from existing communities 4. The design of the site should reflect important ties to the area’s heritage and support innovations in sustainable design
Recurring Themes 5. The provision and design of public space and parkland will contribute to creating a tranquil and enjoyable environment 6. Commercial and retail development should be of an appropriate scale and enhance the character of the Twenty Valley and Jordan Harbour area 7. The development of this site should take advantage of and improve its connections to the wider region and beyond, including by land and water

Emerging Preferred Concept
1. Celebrate the evolution of the site as both a
landmark and a destination in Niagara Region
• Central main street terminates at waterfront
park with buildings that front, face and feature
the waterfront
2. Create a complete community with a range
and mix of housing in a mixed use district
• Single detached, townhouses, walk up
apartments and higher density residential,
mixed use, commercial use, community
facilities
3. Create a prototype of environmental
sustainability and green building technology
• Large open space network, protected
significant natural features, opportunity to
promote leadership in sustainable green
technology and building designEmerging Preferred Concept
4. Respect the existing context of the site
through appropriate transitions in use and
building scale
• Low density residential adjacent to Victoria
Shores with an transition in density and modest
height towards the middle of the site to higher
density on the east end
5. Create a substantial open space network,
including public access to and along the water’s
edge
• Open space network includes waterfront park
and natural features. Continuous public access
along the waterfront with key connecting links to
streets and natural features
6. Provide an interconnected and permeable
complete street network that accommodates
Active Transportation initiatives
• Sidewalks and cycling on grid of streets.
7. Ensure the plan is fiscally viable and market
responsive
• Multiple forms of residential, commercial, retail
and mixed use developmentConcept Layers: Open Space
