From the Streetscape Master Plan draft:

OVERALL TOWN-WIDE RECOMMENDATIONS

The following recommendations are for Town-wide projects or projects that are spread over more than one district. They are not intended to imply any set of priorities, other than those identified in the Implementation section of this report.

Storm Water Management
• Develop Town-wide storm water management plan to address current storm drainage and flooding problems
• Integrate road design with storm water management and streetscape plans

Streetlights
• New streetlights should be installed as decorative streetscape elements wherever sidewalks exist or are extended, except that they should extend on only one side of the road, as shown in the Draft Streetscape Master Plan
• New streetlights should be decorative, pedestrian pole and traditional design compatible with the Town’s historic character (illustrative recommendations)

Other Streetscape Elements
• The Town should establish standards for other street furniture such as benches, trash enclosures, trash receptacles, etc. for future installation at key locations (illustrative recommendations)

Future Road Improvements
• Future road improvements should match the new curb and gutter and sidewalk design that is established on East Loudoun Street

Signs & Wayfinding
• The Town should identify a central location and design for a Town Announcement Sign. This sign should be restrained in color and scale, compatible with the materials and architecture of the traditional buildings in Town and should have movable copy to announce upcoming events and notices for residents and visitors
• Decorative banners should be incorporated into the street light poles and should change according to seasons or significant Town events.
• Consideration should be given to special decorative poles that would carry a banner across Route 7 temporarily for large events. The poles should be compatible with the streetlight pole design and should fit harmoniously with other streetscape elements.
• The Town should consider the future development of other wayfinding elements such as historical plaques on key buildings, interpretive markers and walking tour brochures to increase awareness of the history and important architectural heritage of Round Hill
