Reducing the MSF footprint• Optimize the space needed for train storage and vehicle parking
thus reduce the MSF land requirements• Where possible make space for multi-use• Locate MSF ancillary buildings and substation away from the
development edge, use the ponds as urban design features• Allow for future development over the south end of the site by
putting in supporting services work now• Now incorporate infrastructure elements that will support future
quick-start developments• Develop opportunities to attract wider development interest!• Design Excellence
• Inspirational, creative, gateway, quality architecture and iconic development
