Northern Climate ExChange <strong>WhiteCAP</strong> Draft <strong>Plan</strong><br />
Table 6.1.2<br />
Suggested Adaptations for Infrastructure<br />
Adaptations Addresses<br />
Assess dependence of Whitehorse to highway and<br />
vulnerability of highway to climate change outside<br />
city limits<br />
Assess storm drainage capacity/capability and<br />
design for extreme in future climate change<br />
projections when being replaced through<br />
maintenance schedules<br />
Ensure standards and regulations are “living” so<br />
they are changes as we get more information<br />
Have flexible zoning (beyond the downtown core) to<br />
allow for densification increases in areas of the City<br />
Design neighbourhoods outside the downtown core<br />
to have services<br />
Regional planning and all relevant planning needs<br />
to be revisited regularly<br />
Redesign buildings if there are problems down the<br />
road, such as retrofitting insulation, etc.<br />
Use buildings as carbon sinks and/or use waste<br />
materials for insulation<br />
Incorporate waste/local materials in building<br />
design/construction to create more affordable<br />
housing<br />
Generate standards/best practices for subdivision<br />
development for climate change<br />
Promote education and training to compensate for<br />
increased snow loads<br />
Look at technologies that can help us prepare for<br />
changes down the road and implement them now<br />
Create a strategy to move forward as demand for<br />
waste management constrains flexibility<br />
Create a strategy to compensate for capacity issues<br />
as people and expertise are strained by changing<br />
climate conditions<br />
