Community Visioning Report - Prudhommes Secondary Plan Update | 1

Thinking Big About PrudhommesThe Prudhommes Secondary Plan Update was initiated by the Town of Lincoln, with the support of Niagara Region, to review and update the existing 2006 Secondary Plan within the context of current policy and trends. Ultimately, the Town wishes to support the creation of a complete and sustainable waterfront community. The Town of Lincoln and the Niagara Region have identified this site as having potential for becoming a landmark destination within the region, knitting together many of the attributes unique to Niagara. The Secondary Plan Update will provide the policy framework to support the development of a mixed use community with a built form and transportation network that will create a pedestrian-friendly public realm, take

advantage of its waterfront location, showcase sustainability innovations and address the barrier created by the QEW.

The Design Charrette was held on September 7th and 8th, 2016 at Fleming Centre in Beamsville. The purpose was to kick-off the Secondary Plan Update with a visioning process and the development of preliminary concepts for the study area in collaboration with the community. The Design Charrette began with a presentation by Ken Greenberg, who encouraged participants to think big about the potential and role of Prudhommes within the Niagara Region context.

The study area includes the existing Prudhommes Secondary Plan area, bounded by Lake Ontario to the north, Jordan Road to the east, North Service Road and the QEW to the south and Victoria Avenue and Vineland Research and Innovation Centre to the west.

2 | Prudhommes Secondary Plan Update - Community Visioning Report

Day 1 - September 7, 2016Day 1 began with the Kick-off Presentation by Ken Greenberg and a Question and Answer period moderated by Town of Lincoln CAO Mike Kirkopoulos. Participants included representatives from across the region, including senior municipal staff and members from various tourism, local business and industry groups. Including project team members, there were 54 attendees for this event. Over the course of the afternoon, a series of small discussion groups were organized, as well as a consultant team working session.

The kick-off presentation was repeated in the evening for residents, followed by a moderated Question and Answer period by Mike Kirkopoulos. Attendees were then invited to complete three table group discussions to provide the team with input to help shape the concept plans to be generated on Day 2 and to help generate the draft vision statement. Approximately 88 members of the public participated in the evening session of Day 1. The following is a summary of responses to the three table group activities.

Derived from the preceding key words and phrases provided by the Workshop participants, the team developed the following draft vision statement to guide the future work on this project. Participants were asked to review the draft vision and provided the comments below.

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.

Why would Prudhommes be a destination?

What about public transportation? Train? Buses?

Low density

Quiet, quaint, peaceful

Truck traffic – cycling Victoria

Seniors population VictoriaLeave off “adding a unique…region” and change “it” to “that”

Day 2 - September 8, 2016The design team developed three concepts for the site on Day 2. Stakeholders were invited to participate during the design session. All of the concepts are based on several fundamental principles:

- continuous public access to the waterfront - a connected system of public space - protected natural features - a transition of density to the adjacent Victoria Shores

neighbourhood - a mix of land uses - a variety of housing types - a grid system of roads to provide multiple ways through

the new district - a destination/landmark development

The three concepts were developed to explore options in two key variables: the location and distribution of open space and the location of higher density development.

The following are the concept sketches produced on Day 2 of the Charrette. During the evening, the project team hosted a Public Open House and drop-in session where members of the public were invited to provide feedback on the three options. Approximately 43 members of the public participated.


Concept #1 - Central Park

ParkNatural FeatureTownhouse 2-3 storeys6-10 storeysCommercialBeachRetail/Commercial

Concept 1: Central Park

Concept 1 illustrates a large central open space on the waterfront. A waterfront drive provides public access to Lake Ontario and an address for development that fronts, faces and features the waterfront. A radiating pattern of streets provide access to the waterfront and to the two access points on the North Service Road. Pedestrian access is provided between the new district and the Victoria Shores neighbourhood. Taller buildings are located on the eastern portion of the site and along a road that parallels the North Service Road. Mixed-use development is located along the North Service Road and along the main street and the waterfront drive adjacent to the park.






Central Park (natural feature)Parks and greenspace in right spot. Don’t overdo height of buildings. Strive for unique designs suited to environment. Be careful with minimizing density when possible. Maintain PUBLIC access to lakefront.Good flow for traffic to service roadCreates interestLots of greenspaceLow rise to shoreline higher rises to highwayDensity approach, green spaceGreen by the lakeGreat use of lake, views, walking trails/boardwalkOnly 2 storey backing onto Victoria ShoresBoat tour dock service to connect Niagara-on-the-Lake and Jordan HarbourNote: new development needs architectural uniqueness/colours reflecting “seaside look

Connection to Victoria Shores – should be kept separate6-10 storeysToo much commercial/retailNo public transportationParking?It’s all so banal. Look to the past, Prudhommes was vibrant and attracted tourists. Who is the focus client for this vision?Road access to Victoria Shores

Concept #1 - Public Comments


Concept #2 - Linear Parks

ParkNatural FeatureTownhouse 2-3 storeys6-10 storeysCommercial/OfficeRetailBeach

Concept 2: Linear Parks

Concept 2 illustrates a series of linear parks that reach out as ‘green fingers’ from the waterfront through the new district. A grid pattern of public streets link to, and front onto, the linear parks, ensuring that public access is provided. The adjacent streets provide addresses for buildings that front, face and feature the green space. A new local road connects to the Victoria Shores neighbourhood to ensure it does not exist in isolation from the newly developing area. Higher density buildings are located in the centre and on the east half of the site. Mixed-use development is focused on the North Service Road and along the waterfront street.






No roads into Victoria ShoresNo roadways in a subdivision to accommodate commercial enterpriseGreen areasHigher density to the east near existing marinaConnect both sides of Jordan Harbour entrance with walking and biking bridge and other opportune areas

No roads into Victoria ShoresI would not like to see any residential directly along waterfrontTown committed to townhouse heights, not more than 1.5 to 2 stories east of DustanThere needs to be constant pedestrian access from end to end (building boardwalks or bridges where necessaryOnly 2 storey towns backing onto Victoria ShoresNo road to Victoria ShoresWalking roadways to Victoria ShoresNo boardwalk?Replace townhouses on corner lots with 1 storey quads (like in Victoria Shores)6-10 storey buildingsConcern re: servicing

East SideParkResidential 3-6 storeysRetail Commercial Mixed UseConcept 3 illustrates a string of parks

stretched along the water’s edge. A public street provides access along the parks and the waterfront. A grid pattern of streets enhances access to the waterfront parks. Pedestrian access provides a connection between the new district and the Victoria Shores neighbourhood to ensure that it does not exist in isolation. Higher density development is focused in the interior of the site. Mixed-use development is located along the North Service Road and along the waterfront street.

Within the Context of Twenty Valley

Over the course of the Design Charrette, one of the underlying focuses was locating Prudhommes within the context of the Twenty Valley tourism area and exploring how this would impact its future role in the region.

This diagram illustrates the various centres within Twenty Valley and the potential for an interconnected system of trails and driving routes to showcase what the area has to offer. Participants were encouraged to consider how these linkages could be strengthened to enrich the visitor experience.


Recurring ThemesContinuous public access to the waterfront is critical, facilitated by a waterfront boardwalk or trail

Prioritize the use of active transportation by limiting vehicular traffic, linking to existing active transportation networks and creating designated space for active transportation users

Future development should meet a high architectural standard and ensure that adequate transition zones are in place from existing communities

The design of the site should reflect important ties to the area’s heritage and support innovations in sustainable design

The provision and design of public space and parkland will contribute to creating a tranquil and enjoyable environment

Commercial and retail development should be of an appropriate scale and enhance the character of the Twenty Valley and Jordan Harbour area

The development of this site should take advantage of and improve its connections to the wider region and beyond, including by land and water
