Directed Residential Growth
New residential neighbourhoods support community services and promote accessible, connected development patterns.
“Lollipop” land use pattern in a new residential development in East Courtenay.
Sample “fused grid” land use pattern proposed for a residential development in Calgary, Alberta.

A Destination Riverway
Create destination parks and open spaces along the river.
The river frames the south-eastern entry to the City, becoming a new multi-use destination.
A Complete Bikeway + Pathway System
• The river, parks and open spaces are linked in a complete system.
• Pathways and bikeways connect to downtown and other destinations.
• Dedicated cycle lanes encourage cycling and improve safety.
Integrated Environmental Features
Environmental infrastructure provides high-quality aesthetic design and extends the
greenway system through urbanized areas.

A Road Network Hierarchy
A defined road network hierarchy manages traffic flow. Key automotive, bicycle, transit and recreational corridors provide multi-modal access to destinations.
The System Accommodates All Needs, Ages + Abilities
Sidewalks, pathways, bike lanes, and transit stops are easily accessible and support recreation, commuting, and accessing daily needs.
Complete Streets Enhance the Public Realm
Streets are public spaces that support a variety of uses and experiences.
